High band high power output on 10m

Hello. I have built a trusdx high band model, it works pretty well on every band except ten meters. I never really receive much on ten meters expect some ft8 and it shows about 0.9 watts out into dummy load at 5 v usb power with 65-70 percent efficiency. Is this causing some issues? Thanks in advance

IMO 0.9W from USB power is pretty good. Using 12V you might get full 5W.

People have been hearing me better on ft8 after I tweaked the filters a small bit. At 10.5v i get about 3.3 so maybe mine just has high power output :)
