Hi Luc,

Yes, indeed, it is on, with a very strong signal.....Some typical fading each pass, but it has been doing that since it was launched... Hope to catch u there!!

JC,

The only slug I have for my Bird that covers 6m is a 10B (50-125 MHz 10w). Running the FT736R at full power on 6m (into a dummy load) gently pushes the needle to FSD, so power is a little over ten watts.

I tried this at 50 MHz, 51MHz, 52 MHz 53 MHz and 53.9999 MHz just be to sure.

The handbook says 10w.

Hi guys,

I'm sure some on here have 6-meter modules for their 736s. I'd appreciate knowing what kind of power you are getting out?

Thanks & 73 - JC, K0HPS
