I am using the Orion II and the Centurion amplifier. I enjoy operating AM on 
occasion with this set-up. I load the amp at full output (using CW), but then 
reduce my drive on the rig to only produce total carrier output of the amp to 
about 150 watts. 
Can I increase my rig's drive to produce more from the amp without a concern 
(like 250 watts or so)? How long should I limit my keydown times? Do I need to 
add additional cooling with an external fan sitting on top or something like 
that? Any suggestions is appreciated.
I found a DX-60B at this year's Ten-Tec hamfest and plan on playing with it 
driving the amp too.
 
Any suggestions is much appreciated.
