It up to him to limit the output and 3 dB is still 3dB which can maybe get
thru the pileup or marginal propagation.

Ive been on the WARC's since they were permitted and Im also licensed for
600M. Having band choice flexibility is what keeps me from being bored. I
cant understand those who live on one band and mode.....what a rut to be in!
