[RTTY] The perfect delay for run CQ?

[Anthony J. Cioffi]

I have a 1KMP and run the radio at no more than 50 watts. However, I let the amp do its job to brings thing up to higher operating levels when needed.

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?
