Question about the Ranger2950Dx 3

[AmericanEagle575]

Well finally got my Radio installed and slowly learning about the Ranger2950Dx since I have been out of loop for about 15 year's. Does the RF knob control the output of SSB ? I got the radio from Walcott CB shop online and it does 2-10 Watts am/FM mode and SSB mode it does 25 Watts although supposedly it has been set to 45 Watts pep. So does the mic control set the power of SSB or is it the RF power control for output?? Just curious, hope it doesn't sound like a Stupid question, thanks!!

It should let you control SSB output from very little to what ever the max wattage is. As far as your numbers, unless you have a true peak reading meter you probably won't see 45 watts.

it's actually both. since ssb has no carrier, lower mod will result in lower wattage.
