my question would be how much power to safely run with a TA-33?? Ive been
runing 400 to 500 wts and it seems to be ok....thus far..
Im sure a kw would be pushing it, a lot...
any thoughts on this?
thanks john w8wej
My thoughts would be, look at the cw rating on your tribander and then half
that. the duty cycle of cw is half of what rtty is.. rtty and AM are
running at the same duty rating..100% if a TA 33 is rated at 700watts cw
then 300 or 400 rtty would be the max i would want to use. it all depends
if the trap startes arcing and you get carbon tracking inside . is it worth
the price of a new trap or antenna and time taking one down and putting the
new one up..
