Hi Bill,
Roger. FT-2K. Way more rig than I need, but I got it at a good price.
In contests I always run full power. For rag chewing, which is mostly on
PSK, I run 30-40W. At my 40 & 80M station, in the basement, I have an old
TS-940S. I follow the same rule there.
Kermit, AB1J

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?
