Sounds like we need to add an external pad to the transmit path on high power transceivers such as the 9700? to provide more granular power control. Maybe a software tweak needed?

For those IC-9700 operators, I highly suggest that you? keep the Multi-Knob focussed on RF power and adjust as required.? This will of course limit your ability to use the RIT since it is hard to use both at the same time.

It is unfortunate that I can't seem to use the waterfall on the IC-9700 to also see the beacon in the panadapter.? It isn't a 'width' issue but a gain issue.? ? I already have my REF set to +12db.

I'm always open to suggestions.
