In my original post I was questioning only getting 22-23w out of my 50w MXT575. I was able to have my radio tested by C&M Communications. On my Pyramid P59KX (5/7amp pwr supply output was 23-24w. On his power supply reading 50W on the MXT.... Guess who just bought a decent pwr supply! Thanks to all the original replies. Tim WSAC215, Star Valley AZ

Another vote for Comet CA-712EFC. Was using a Tram1477-B. The Comet is much better.

I submitted this to Midland tech support with no response so maybe someone here can give me some opinions and/or suggestions. My Midland MXT575 is powered by 13.8vdc Pyramid PS9KX power supply. Testing with a Surecom SW-33 meter and 50W dummy load, the best output I can get is 22-23W on various channels. I know you will probably never get the full claimed power output but less than 50% ?

I lve in a heavily treed mountain area of Payson/Star Valley, AZ. I can hear lots of people talking on simplex and repeater channels and have asked for a radio check many times with very little respone. I have tested with a Radiodity 5w and Midland 50W at 7.5miles (no line of sight) with a an excellent results both on repeater ch and simplex. Base antenna is a Tram 1477-B dual band 6db (43" fiberglass) roof mount approx 20' high. My SWR is very poor at 2.6/2.7 and pwr reading of only 22w using surecom 33 meter. I doubt switching antennas will help my pwr situation but will going with a 3db antenna help my "FARS" ?
