FT-817

[Bruce Rattray]

I'm trying to set my FT-817 to 5 watts output.  The manual says "If you set
the power to 5 watts,  the power level icon is the same as for 2.5 watt
operation, but at 5 watts the icon is blinking."   My 2.5 icon does not
blink.  Right now the icon looks like  "L)))" but no blinking.   When I
press A, I can change the icon from L))) to L)), to L), then a blank icon
screen and then back to L))) but no blinking.  Any ideas pse? Tnx  72/73

I think that's only on battery power.

Do you have external power hooked up? That is an internal battery option.
If the external power source is hooked up when there are no icons you have five watts.
