9C1driver has a point.

if the maximum PEP out of the radio is 130 watts, then you should set your maximum deadkey at 1/4 of that, or 32.5 watts. (i would set it at 30 watts)

the reason is that if measuring power using Peak Envelope Power, 100% modulation equals four times the carrier power. (1.5x for average)

so there is no use in having a 60 watt deadkey if your radio cant modulate it to 240 watts.
