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.

Joe,
Yes, indeed! The UHF high-power version will likely either go spurious or
burn up if set that low. The only way to go with the radio you have is to
add a 6 or 10 dB power attenuator rated at no less than 25 watts, and set
your TX power at the low end. Admittedly, this is a kluge of the
Thanks Eric,
I though there was a caveat to turning it down, but couldn't remember
why. I want to experiment with an EchoLink repeater, but I'm not sure
that the R1225 UHF hi power could hold up at 25 watts continuous duty.
I think I'll do some shopping as you suggest.
73 and Thanks,
Joe
If you have a spectrum analyzer, be sure and check it for spectral
purity. *Most* radios don't like to have their power cut back that far.
