True enough, but don't forget the power from the modulator. In rough
terms, you could put as much power into the modulator as you could in the
carrier (the modulation power averages out in the "DC Power to the final
stage"), so you could roughly double the DC output in RF terms.. about 1.5
kW or so RF power. And, of course, that's average power, not peak
envelope, so, with the right modulation (heh, heh)... say 300% positive and
100% negative, you could actually get a pretty darn high PEP.
