Excellent radios. You will love it! In the MTX mode, the Top-Gun compressor is engaged. so that might affect the SSB scope pattern. It is very loud on AM.

You didn't mention whether you're a ham or not. If you are, send me your email and I'll send back "Secrets of the OmegaForce S45HP".

I find the S45's to be amusing radios. I call them a "dual-use" radio, because they are quite able performers on 10M (though to be honest, I use mine mostly on 11M. I actually prefer my OPTIMA for 10M, though the S45 pinch-hits every so often).
 
Cause it can. It has variable power, dead key range is probably 3-12 or something like that.

3w-9Vari w DK. STX = 60w, MTX = 90w.
no matter where the dk variable is it still swings max, unless i change mtx to stx.
and why do i have it at 90W, close enough to 100w... no over modulation and no issue with ssb. anymore higher and ssb is outofcontrol.


max temp from RFX75 \= 140 Degrees with a constant tone on AM to a dummy load.
thermistor @ 70 degree's 12v to fan.
