Why can't I get full power from my 6400?

Whenever I try to set the RF Power on my 6400, it won't go beyond 46W. If I slide to 100W, it immediately goes back to 46W. I've tried resetting the permitted power in the band settings, but it makes no difference.

This true for both SmartSDR and SmartSDR for Mac.

EDIT The SWR is 1.3:1

    In SmartSDR go to settings/Radio Setup/Transmit tab and make sure max power is set to 100 watts. Also make sure you don't have any 3rd party software resdtricting the radio's max power.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
