REPLY: 
The HF-2500 should not be used on 40 meter full power RTTY, or any
lower frequency either. I melted the toroid twice on mine on 40 meters
during a RTTY contest. 

It does not use a toroid on 20-10 meters and thus is ok for full power
RTTY  there. 

I have owned three different Alphas (89, 91b and 9500) and they DO
have an adequate toroid for RTTY contesting. Command should take a
lesson.
