I don't see  how.



You don't see how....What?    Am I mistaken that the Sb-220  was rated at 2KW 
PEP input?  It does say it on the front panel, though it  does not say 
"input" it does say 2KW amplifier.  Or...Do you mean to say  that 2KW is not the 
same as 1KW DC input?  There has been a lot of  discussion over the years, 
especially in the early days when one did not have a  PEP reading watt meter.  So, 
the rule of thumb "at the time" was that PEP  was ~ twice the average DC input. 
 SO...What don't you see?
 
If you will recall the poster's original question you did not give him an  
answer.  If you have a better explanation to his question, PLEASE do  so.  Lou
