It's just a saying of his anyway...and the point he's making with that statement is that if you don't see the wave on a scope, and you're only going by a meter, you have no way to know it's not just garbage coming out of the radio. Squarewaves... harmonics... splatter... you know the drill.
Besides, watts don't really matter. You can have a 100 watt radio, but a crap antenna or a faulty antenna system...and barely get out across the median. Likewise, you can have a 4 watt radio with a good antenna that's properly set up, and talk all over the world when the conditions are right.
Need a good clean, powerful radio

I proved the point on harmonics and splatter. I did a by the numbers alignment straight from the service manual on my Galaxy DX-959. I set the driver and final bias to 50ma and 100ma. Tuned the rf strip per service manual. Set carrier to full 4 watts. I kept mod limiter intact and set AMC pot to 100% with a mod meter and 1000hz tone and then fine tuned it on the scope. Now it swings to about 23 watts, and everyone thinks it is a big base station with crystal clear audio and it can be heard more than 2 miles down the road LOL

Good shop I've n
Been in there a few times he has a good selection of radios you can even drive tractor trailer in for installation. -
The store is great. The shop is hit or miss. If you get the head tech, he's good. Dunno about the rest of them.
My DX-939 bought from and peaked and tuned by them had the AMC jacked wide open. Orlando (the head tech) did not do the work on the radio.stacks Thanks this. -
