Absolutely "way" ... if you run the higher late voltage with
lower current and only 700 - 800 watts out in RTTY, the plate
load impedance of the tubes will be two to three times higher
that the design parameters of the pi network (higher voltage,
lower current = higher impedance).
If the pi network will even tune with the higher PLI, the Q
will be much higher resulting in higher circulating currents,
more loss, more heat in the coils and stress on the capacitors.
Since the pi-network is already on the edge at 1500 W PEP, the
added stresses of 100% duty cycle RTTY may well cause premature
failure.
