Installed 3.4.23 and AM carrier now reduced to 3 watts

I installed 3.4.23 on my windows 10 pc and Flex 6500 and I find that now my AM carrier level has been reduced from 25 watts to 3 watts. This is with the AM Carrier slider set to 50 where it has always been set. If I move the AM Carrier slider all the way to the right, I can achieve 20 watts. If I go back to 3.4.21, I get the usual 25 watts of AM carrier with the AM Carrier slider set to 50.

    Manual seems to indicate that carrier should be “about 25 watts” with AM carrier and RF output controls on full.

    It should be 25 Watts of carrier when RF Power is set to 100 and AM Carrier Reduction slider set to 100 (no reduction). If this is not the case, then there is still a bug. I will see if / when I update to 3.4.23

    I may have misunderstood the relationship between the RF Power slider and the AM Carrier Slider. Prior to 3.4.23 release, if I set the AM Carrier slider to 50, I could adjust the RF Power slider from zero to 25 watts.

    If the current behavior of 3.4.23 is correct, I will change my procedure for adjusting the AM carrier / RF Power .
