I disagree.
If you are into 10 minuet rag chew transmissions maybe...
For contesting the duty cycle is pretty low. 5 seconds transmit and at least
10 seconds receive is less than 50 % duty cycle.
We ran Icom IC751 and 751As at WA7EGA, (now K7IRA) for many many years at
100 watts output in contests. Never had a PA failure.

No xcvr should be run at more than 50% power for RTTY.

Hi,
I would like to hear from anyone who has used a Flexradio 6300 barefoot
at
100w in low power RTTY contesting, especially if you run a lot.
The reason is some of the reviews in eHam.net mention the 6300 has
overheating problems.
I would want to use it for extended, heavy duty RTTY contest activity.
I'm not concerned about fan noise.
I'd also like to know about anyone's experience with the Maestro
interface. I kneed knobs.
Thanks & 73,
Ken, AB1J
