I have a 1KMP and run the radio at no more than 50 watts. However, I let the
amp do its job to brings thing up to higher operating levels when needed.

REPLY:
I'm guessing you have a Yaesu, right? Yaesu recommends a 50% duty cycle,
but I have had a couple of Yaesus in the past and ran them at full power
on RTTY with no problem.
Normally I don't recommend exceeding a manufacturer's ratings, but I
have always felt Yaesu was being overly conservative.
Comments fro other Yaesu owners?
