[RTTY] Tuner for High Power RTTY

[Rick Mintz]

Hi Gang,

I am looking for suggestions for a tuner that can handle RTTY contesting at 1500 watts on 40 meters (only). I have a Drake MN-2000, but I don't think that it can handle the average 5 second XMIT - 3 second RECV in a contesting environment.

(Just finishing a Class E, 40 meter, solid state amp project for RTTY. It has so far produced 1850 watts into a Bird 2500 watt dummy load for 30 minutes continuous.)

Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks.
