My Titan 425 Owners Manual: " POWER OUTPUT: 1500 Watts ssb or cw, 1000
Watts continuous RTTY, SSTV."
Heat build up in the shack may be a problem at higher power levels and
high
speed CW / high qso rates but its unlikely that you can exceed 50% duty
cycle of the Titan 425 at 1500W and 40 WPM even if you are QSK and only
going to full receive to make a contact.

I take your point, except it's hard to imagine 100% duty cycle CW...
Unless
your weighting is a lot different from mine. ;-)

There are various interpretations of what a true legal limit 1500 watt
amplifier is. To some that means it can produce 1500 watts peak in SSB
service, but less in CW or RTTY service. Others say it is true legal
limit if it can put out 1500 watts for a short period of time, like a
minute with 5 or 10 minutes of idle time, in CW or RTTY mode. And there
are those (myself included) who insist it is not a full legal limit
amplifier unless it can put out 1500 watts in high duty cycle, nearly
100% duty cycle, RTTY or CW contesting. There are a lot of people who
stick with tube amplifiers, because few if any of the solid state
offerings are true full legal limit 1500 watt amplifiers by that
definition. If Ten-Tec made one, it would be one of the few available,
and if the price was comparable to similarly capable tube amps, it might
sell a bunch.
