Well maybe, it was more a response to the comments about being good for 
1K and to point out that they were actually part of the evolution 
process for better signals on 2m.

I've got a NAG here and its no longer GG - it is reasonable with a watt 
or so of drive and runs well at 250W - but thats ssb/cw it wouldn't be 
any use at all for FSK and it regularly used to fall apart running HSCW
