for him to hear a 5w radio @ 'almost 8 S units' and NOT hear a 4, 3, 2 even 1 watt radio 'not at all', suggests a problem with HIS rcv. not your xmit. the db vs watt has already been adressed here, so 'S8 with 5 watts' would equate to 'S4 with 2.5 watts;. of course, not too many radios read S-units in even numbers, so now i'd be skeptical. anyway, if his rcv is so far out of align & S-meter VR turned UP to account for weak signals.....well MAYBE then he wouldn't hear your XL. rcv-wise, the XL is superior to the washington, & a STOCK xl probably is, too. a WELL modded XL is by far the better radio. i'd look into the XL some more.....and maybe find another radio-check partner.
