[Amps] MRFE6VP Datasheet

[Fuqua, Bill L]

  If it will do 1200W average power CW it should do the same in pulsed mode.
The question is, why list both unless some application requires that particular
pulse specification. It could be that the product was targeted for that application.
And others (CW).

Very nice looking piece of work.
