I emailed them about the above. No owner's manual available yet. For
1500 watt carrier modes such as RTTY or FM, limit transmissions to 2.5
minutes. He did not specify how long the cool down time between
transmissions should be. 

They seem to have focused their engineering on such features a touch
screen and other bells and whistles. I would have preferred they had
focused on the basics such as duty cycle, full power on all bands and
built in antenna tuner. To each his own.
