You don't have to look too far back in the reflector to see that a couple of
regulars who would certainly qualify in my book as "experts" have
recommended turning the volts up to 14.5V or so. The benefit is not to get
any more power - any extra power you did get would not make any noticeable
difference at the receiving end, bearing in mind that even doubling the
power would only get you half an S-point - but to get improved linearity and
a cleaner signal.
