A: 100 watts was the wrong answer, Tricky, the FTDX101D is 100 watts.
They're asking about the recently announced FTDX101MP which is a 200 watt version.
Indeed, 200w was the correct answer. Thanks.

The question caught me because I didn't notice the different last letters in the Model number. I see Gigaparts lists the MP model for MSRP: $6,500 and the D model for $3999.95. Why would you pay $2.500 for an extra 100 watts? That only makes 3 db difference in your signal. I wouldn't spend my money that way.

Of the choices (10, 100, 1000, 10000), I like the idea of 10000 channels. I don't want to take the time to calculate it out, but I imagine that might nearly enough to save all possible combinations of frequencies and PL tones. Or would we need one more digit for that?
