[RTTY] Flex 6300 in low power RTTY contests; Maestro

[Al Kozakiewicz]

At least one of the online specs for the IC-756 Pro III (which I own) says RTTY is rated at 100 watts with 100% duty cycle. Probably representative of all the late model Icoms.

There might be IMD or purity reasons not to run at 100% power, but the power handling capabilities don't seem to be a reason.

Maybe instead of saying "No xcvr", maybe you should have said "some xcvrs".

I always ran my TT Omni VI at full power in many RTTY contests with no problem. I even called TenTec and asked if I needed a fan for this type of service and they said no.

Just my 2 cents...
