I sent my FT 890 to Yaseu for repairs about a yr. ago because lighting
hit it and knocked the rec out The TX was working fine when I sent it. I
never tried it out until now because I use it as a spare. The rec works
fine now the TX is only 40 watts in all modes. I called Yaseu about this
and they told me the no longer repair the older model radios anymore,
that I would have to find someone else to repair it. My question is does
anyone have a clue on what them might have done to lower the rf power? I
would like to try and repair it myself before trying to get someone else
to do it. I have already spend more money on it than it is worth. Any
help on this???? Thanks

Perhaps it became mis-adjusted. If you don't have a service manual
(technical supplement in Yaesu speak) you should be able to snag a copy
from http://mods.dk
