[VHFcontesting] FT100D and full duty modes (WSJT)

[John Geiger]

I have been using my FT100D on WSJT driving a 10 in
100 w out amp.  Has worked fine so far.  I have just
picked up a higher power amp that requires 25-30 watts
of drive.  Has anyone used an FT100D on WSJT at a 25
watt drive level.  The manual says for RTTY operation
cut back power to 50 watts.  I am sure that this is
for HF.  Seems like cutting back to 50% should work ok
on VHF also, but some of the WSJT contacts can take
awhile.  

Anything to worry about using WSJT at 25 watts out on
the FT100D?
