Getting full power on HF but only 55w on 6 meters running FT8 (50.313) VSWR is 1.65
TX band setting is 100w.
Any other settings to check ?

thank you

    Hi Joe, what is your TX DAX level set to?

    Have you tried transmitting into a dummy load? If that gives the same results, then you should probably submit a help desk ticket.

    You may need to adjust the Audio Transmit Level slider in WSJT-X. I have mine at around 80% for 100W out on 6 meters with my 6400M. Good luck and I hope you find the cause of the issue.

    As a test:

    Set your Tune on the Radio to 100%

    Press Tune and while txing into a dummy load, read the power on your watt meter. If greater than 90 watts, all is ok with the radio and check your audio drive levels. If less, open a support ticket.

    BTW, on audio drive, never exceed -5db on the level meter.
