    In Tune mode, can you move the power to the right and see full power? How about CW? What microphone are you using? In many cases, the +20db button needs to be pressed for full output - is the modulation meter fully deflecting? By the way, I believe AM operation is not recommended at this time. Good luck & welcome to the 6500 club!

    AM transmit isn't implemented in 0.13.10 software. George is right, check the +20db button and slide the mic gain up.

    From page 6 of the 0.13.10 release notes: "6. Only transmitting on USB/LSB and CW is supported. Do not transmit on AM" Read the release notes. The radio you save may be your own. :)
