Running into a 50 ohm dummy load allows full transmitter output.

Yes, the IC-725 power output know was fully clockwise.

When connected to the antenna the IC-725 indicates 25 - 50% power (not
much needle deflection difference between the two) and the tuner power
meter indicates in the 25W to 50W range.

So it works into the the dummy load, next steps?

Thanks.

I have an ICOM-725 (HF system, 100W output) connected to a MFJ tuner
and then about 120 foot feedline run to an antenna I made myself.

I can get the SWR on the MFJ tuner to read nearly 1:1, but the
transmitter display shows only about a 25% power output.


Is the power output knob on the IC-725 fully clockwise?
What magnitude of forward power does the tuner indicate?
