Does the RF PWR knob on the box change the wattage into the driver? When I set the low power of the radio (VR16) TO DK into the box it's so low that it either won't DK, or it pops about 300 watts into the box. But when I turn the variable knob down I can lower it to about 220-250. Is that even really working?
