[RTTY] RTTY power levels

[Jim Martin - MM0BQI]

I am running an FT1000MP Mk5 at 40w output during rtty contests and the fan
runs almost constantly and it gets hot. My understanding of the MP manual is
that I can run it at 100w out for long periods but I am not too keen to do
his! The second radio, IC7400 runs much cooler at 40w.
I see from lots of posts that operators are running 100w output from
standard rigs with great success and no damage, some guidance on this would
be appreciated!
Thanks
