FLEX 5000A - NEED TECH HELP

I have a Flex 5000A that thinks it is putting out more watts than it actually is. At 50 watt tune, it thinks it is putting out about 130 watts, with outboard meter saying 50 watts as it should. Of course this is throwing it in to protect mode thinking the SWR is high. I have tried removing and reinstalling software from the ground floor and updating the EPROM.

Is there a process to adjust this? I have another 5000A that thinks it is putting out less than it actually is. I assume this is not unusual.

Thanks in advance for any input! Paul - W0EBV

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.
