Hi, the lower the gain figure on the pa panel, the more out put i get. However,
the lowest figure it allows is 38db and that gives me 50 mw. Is there some way
or start up flag that i can disable this limit? Cheers vk3tc /dd<BR><BR>>

that 50mW level. My setup is down at <BR>> the moment, but go look for a
