I was surprised to read that was true in the Gap, since it
has no traps.

I am interested in getting a Titan DX. The Gap website says
"legal limit", but with a following asterisk. I could find
no reference to the asterisk.

Anyone have experience with the Titan DX?

Wish I'd known that before I ran 1500 watts into my Hy-Gain
TH5 Mark
II for years on end.  Seemed to be ok when I finally took it
down,
but maybe I just don't recognize "smoking hunk(s) of
plastic" when I
see 'em.  <g>

During that time I did smoke a couple of so-called "legal
limit"
amplifiers, but the antenna was no problem at all.
