Re: [Elecraft] Power "per mode and per band"
Thanks, Tom. I had thought of that, but since I use NaP3 to control band/mode switching, there is no access (that I know of) to the built-in macros which do that job. 73 - George, W3HBM On 8/29/2016 6:41 PM, tomb18 wrote: Hi You could set up a macro and use that to change bands, modes and power. 73 Tom va2fsq.com Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

The current system seems to be "per band" only. Reason: Like many, I operate data modes as well as CW/SSB. On the latter two, the duty cycle is 50% or less, and running full power (100W) seems reasonable. However, on the data modes, the duty cycle is 100% during transmit, which bothers me, both since it might strain the amplifier and because there is generally no need for that power. However, if I back off the power for data modes, it remains backed off when I try to use SSB or CW on that band. It is easy to suggest programming fixes when I know nothing of the program. But if this is a reasonably easy one, it would be appreciated. Or maybe someone has found out how to do this with the present firmware (5.50)?
