All McKinley’s will be different. Mine is at 3 bars(RF pwr) and it’s about 2w into my 503 on AM. On SSB it’s full tilt 4w. You can turn it up on SSB. But you should get a power meter that shows PEP. Right now you don’t know what the AMC or ALC is set at. Proper adjustment is HUGE!! P.s...

First off…nice radio!! I am running a McKinley w/ a 503. With it’s power turned all the way down it will not key the amp. That’s on AM. I keep the radio power up on SSB (12w PEP) But on SSB the amp light won’t come on even when keyed if I don’t modulate it. Once I speak, the amp light comes...
