[Amps] TL-922A

[TexasRF at aol.com]

Back in the mid 80's I ran a TL922 while "playing" at contesting. I say  
playing because my contesting skills are too poor to really compete.
 
Even in the play mode on SSB after a couple of hours of steady operation, a  
pungent "my power transformer is getting too warm" smell would appear. I never 
 had a failure but was concerned about the amplifier survival. 
 
Running CW on the SSB setting will place a higher duty cycle on the unit  and 
hasten the over heating period. I would suggest that casual hunt and pounce  
style operating might be ok but rag chewing or heavy contesting is a  definite 
no-no.
 
My two cents worth,

Despite  the warnings in the manual, is it OK to operate the TL-922A in SSB 
mode using  CW?
