REPLY:

I'm guessing you have a Yaesu, right? Yaesu recommends a 50% duty cycle,
but I have had a couple of Yaesus in the past and ran them at full power
on RTTY with no problem.

Normally I don't recommend exceeding a manufacturer's ratings, but I
have always felt Yaesu was being overly conservative. 

Comments fro other Yaesu owners?
