Tony, Please look at the photo, that's actually what it does do. Thank you, even though you correction is actually not right either, it did flush out a typo in my review. As far as your question, I have no idea. I would like it tested, but I do not have the equipment to do that. Based on performance, I would have to say its damn near 4w.

Tony, I'm talking about a typo I made on my orig review, I fixed it.
What I mean about a posting war is I just was posting the sale. I really didn't want to get into a discussion about the radio here. I had a post for that already.
