I have a Yaesu FT-890/at  I see a solid 80 watts (pep) or so on my MRJ-962s tuner's meter.  However my trusty radio shack shows a bit more


But in looking at the block diagram I see this unit uses twin MRF477 finals and a 2166 driver...  now that would make 80 watts pep maxing those finals


but then in the schematic it shows a pair of 2sc2879 and a single 2166 driver


so which is it, and if it's a pair of 2sc2879 finals then surely I could get a little more power out of this thing, maybe 75 pep per final?
