The R100 likes to run at its rated power turning down will make it run hotter then if you leave it at the higher power they are not a good choice for a repeater tx.

It is the high power UHF version (25-45 watts). The reason for the low power is to drive a power amp at the output I want to achieve. Any drawbacks to running the R1225 this low? 73, Joe, K1ike
