First off yes, you can adjust the level to any drive power you want to drive an amplifier. We have put many in the field driving amps at ranges from 5 to 15 watts. As far as the sensitivity goes.....the spec of .35 is conservative and usually is better, but what really helps is that the selectivity is very good on these units. You won't be sorry to toss out the Hamtronics for an 850.

Two questions (at this point): Can the output be turned down to 7-10 watts in the software; and should I be concerned about a sensitivity rating of .35uv compared to a measured .18uv on the Hamtronics? This is for the same quieting (12db). Or is it safe to assume that in the real world the Hamtronics' sensitivity falls to about .35uv with a stiff level of rf hitting it whereas the Kenwood may hold steady at .35uv? Thanks for the info!
