I note they list the maximum power on their "diskcone" at 200 watts (50 
- 1300 MHz). What on earth is in there that would limit the power other 
than spacing between the top and skirt beside the coax connector?  I'd 
expect for the most part it'd handle the legal limit plus, until getting 
up around 1300 MHz where the dielectric *might* be a limitation.
