[TenTec] 1208 Transverter

[David Cuttler]

I have a 1208 transverter on the way to me, and I would like to use it with my Corsair II. The issue  I am concerned about is that one day I will forget to turn down the drive to five watts and fry the transverter. I could drive it with my OHR-500 QRP rig, but that limits me to CW only.
 
Is this going to be an issue, or can the transverter stand the higher power for a limited time? Any advice would be welcome.
