6300 low TX output after SDR upgrade to 2.5.1
SDR upgrade resulted in low TX output power. "Tune" power gradual increase to 100% via AM into dummy load results 100W output. Doing the same using MOX as the test mode results in 25W at 100%. Thinking that factory reset may be in order? Thanks in advance.

Tune will give you 100 watts because it uses a tone (peak).
Not sure what you mean by gradual?
My 6600 and 6500 work well with 2.5.1.. Look at the the below suggestions, you may find some clues.
I just looked at my"TX Band settings", the HWALC boxes are checked. You might try unchecking those boxes (try one band) to see if version 2.5.1 acts like 2.4.9 on that band. With the slider set at 100 watts what does the Flex watt meter indicate (100 watts or 40 watts)? That may tell you something.

Don't ever do an upgrade and test late at night after a long day doing yard work!! So the simple conclusion is, user error aided by assumptions.
All is well and working perfectly. Thank you very much for trying to help.
