    Hey there Scott. Yeah it goes up to 100 watts. Goes down as low as 5 watts
    too. No worries about the questions. Well more watts is a good thing for
    sure, but that’s not really where “the money” is at. You’re much better off
    having a solid antenna system. Yes it’s a system and there is much more to
    it than the antenna itself. But that is really the key. People make
    contacts all around the world using 5 watts or less. Some even use less
    than 1 watt. But they’re using a really good antenna system and that’s how
    they’re able to do that.
