first i tried the mic gain on the radio at 10;30 n the mic gain on the microphone at 10;00 and it would swing bout 100 watts..then i tried the mic gain on the radio at 12;00 and the microphone at 9;00 and would swing to 100 watts..without actualy haveing to drag my dead a$$ out n drive across the country n have the wife call me to see if theres any difference in mod,does it make any difference as long as both ways swing 100 watts ? is 100 watts a 100 watts no matter the setting ? i,m not talking bout AM im talking SSB .
