Hi Steve, the Sb-200 operators manual says that 100 watts is  permissible,  
Just because you are used to an SB-200 on HF or similar  amplifier that with 
100 watts makes only about 650 watts out, then why is the  same 100 watts of 
drive any different on 6 meters?  To me, 100 watts drive  is 100 watts drive 
either on 80 meters or 6 meters.  I think some of you  guys have to think "outside 
the box".  When one fine tunes a design and  makes it specific for a specific 
frequency we are talking a horse of a different  color than an all band 
amplifier.  Things  change.
