Which power settings are available for HF operation?

• A. 1, 5, 20 watts and USER
• B. 1, 5, 10 watts and DEFAULT
• C. 2, 4, 8 watts and USER
• D. 5, 10, 25 watts and USER

Answer: (A)

In HF mode these radios offer a small, practical set of output options to balance range and battery life. The available fixed power levels are 1 watt, 5 watts, and 20 watts, plus a USER option that lets you program a custom power level within the radio’s permitted range. Having these choices lets you quickly adapt to conditions: use the lowest power that gets the link through, step up for more range, or choose a tailored setting when a nonstandard level better fits the mission. The other lists don’t match the actual options and omit the USER programmable setting, which is why they aren’t correct.
