Two improvements:

1) better power output on 6 meters due to cascaded amplifier stages 
rather than a single stage;

2) better output s/n due to varying the reference voltage on the DAC 
rather than just having fewer bits of the DAC being used as power output 
is decreased.

Both of these improvements were tested out in an early generation Hermes 
prototype.
