This is a general question about AM output on an FT-101E. I had a discussion with a local yokel that claimed that he can get his FT-101E to key 20 watts while keeping it at the recommended 150mA i.c. and that it'll swing to 100 watts PEP using an amplified D104. I called BS. He's doing it on 11m (which I can't duplicate because mine isn't snipped) but on 10m and 15m the best I can get is an 18 watt key swinging to about 45 watts PEP in AM into a dummy. My FT-101E has full output on SSB. Was I wrong to call him a liar lol?

160m 90 watts
80m 140 watts
40m 140 watts
20m 140 watts
15m 135 watts
10m 120 watts

Thanks!
