[TenTec] 961 power supply question ...

[William Lee]

I Agree Mike, that 5 watts is no big deal.
However, the fact the power supply trips out at 100 watts indicates a 
problem.
Would you buy a radio with such a problem?
I would like to investigate the problem and try to fix it before it becomes 
a bigger one.

Running the Pegasus at 100 watts into a proper load is what the transmitter 
is designed to do.
Doing that should never damage anything.
