My 10watt query on the MFJ-948 Antenna Tuner.

I already had a message asking why my tuner shows 100w on this video, so I made this video to make it clear that I am using 10 watts. The tuner has two power settings!
I keep it on the 30w setting for more movement from the dial to make it easier for me to read.
Thanks for your concern.
I've proved that 10watts is enough to work worldwide when condictions are right and you have the right antenna.

anything over .5volts is illegal. :(

@Danny7930 The 13.7 volts you see on the top right of the display is delivered by the PSU and is the voltage the radio is operating on.

10 watts is the foundation license limit, The intermediate is 50 watts and the full license is 400 watts. I was an M6 (foundation license holder) when this video was recorded so everything is in order, nothing illegal about it what so ever.

My legal limit is now 400 watts.

where did you get .5 volts from? I don't understand.

even a minority of full license amateurs break the rules having amplifiers exceeding 400 watt and do use them - same old story attack the foundation license holder for running more power what about everyone else - the power limits need changing foundation 50watt intermediate 100watt and full license well they already have more than enough power this way nobody can carry on like children causing problems they have no reason to :-) lets make ham radio a fair and peaceful place for everyone :-)

Other Hams have a big problem with m6 m3 foundation stations running more power but truth is most of them the majority do run more power up to 100w only the small minority like myself running genuine 10 watts - What about the intermediate class license 2e0 and so on they dont use 50 watts majority also run full power 100w + more so they are all breaking the rules too so why everyone focus so much on the foundation class holder its wrong they all breaking the rules power limits need changing

Ha i use a Icom 703+ 10 watt radio so i cannot transmit more than 10 watts i enjoy Q.R.P nobody can say nothing because i do not have the capability to transmit more power and i have had some very good contacts with 10 watts and 5 watts i have worked the u.s on only 5 watts a couple of times and canada - cuba and i have had good s9+++ reports around europe on 5 watt :-)
