Question about CW output FT101ZD - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hello,

I'm happy to have found this forum concerning the vintage radios.
I use an old Yaesu FT101-ZD. I have question concerning the CW output.
Could somebody help me just by doing a small test if you use a FT-101ZD as well ?

If I set the CW output to 12W for example, PROC switch OFF, this power decreases about 3 W by activating the PROC to ON.

I don't know if this behaviour is normal or not.....

Please who could make this simple test and inform me ?

Thank you very much!!
Best regards. 73.
Stephane.
