I believe this explains the behavior I'm seeing when using my XVTR's. I have been noticing low drive from the XV144 and XV432 when first switching to either of those bands. As I transmit the power seems to in crease (I can observe this on the Power Output LED's on their front panels). When working six meters I have also noticed reduced output from the amplifier which increases to normal after transmitting for a while. > >I too have power issues after the latest firmware upgrade.
