Transmit power output after modification
Power output in watts as measured from an uncalibrated Diawa CN-620 wattmeter with vhf,uhf dummy load. Power output on
radio set to highest level.

These are the readings I took after performing the mod. I took readings at key frequencies throughout the band to measure the
efficiencies of the different band pass filters, especially in the HF band. The attenuation at the edges of the filters are very visible
especially at the 8MHz cross point.
All readings were took with a bird wattmeter and a home made RF voltmeter, the latter is not reliable over 200MHz.
Thanks. Olivier, VE2NSM.
