until I got a 200 watt transceiver I used 10W of drive from my 100W 
transceiver to drive my linear amp to 100W o/p. That way I could get a 
really clean sig at 10W and the Acom 1010 did not add anything other 
than extra RF to it :-0

If all you have is a 100 watt tranceiver then you have to be satisfied 
with 40 or 50 watts o/p but that's only 3dB (half an S unit) down on the 
100 so you'd hardly tell the difference.
