"all the extra channels (exactly 2,830 of them)."

How did you arrive at that number, I wonder?
As for power out of that '440, it just depends on the mode of use. Never gonna get 100 watts of AM or FM. At least, not for long .
Don't misunderstand, I think the TS-440 is a nice radio, but it certainly does have some practical limits.

30MHz minus 1.7MHz, I beleve is the range of coverage, equals 28.3Mhz divide by 10Khz channels =2830 :ROFL ........the ultimate freeband radio, up to 70 groups of 40 channels. at the bottom of the dial you might even find billy grahm and pat robinson

You have to subtract the alpha channels too. See, if you go and buy a 400 channel export superstart then you have 10 bands of 40 channels, not 10 bands of 45.
