The solder will melt out of the band switch... The plate transformer will
probably short because of heat...
Other than that....

Subject: Re: [Amps] Defining CCS
A few years back Alpha had a 9500 on display complete with brick and
key. But on close examination it was setup with a hidden keyer sending
a string of dits. I asked the guy about it and he said that there was a
brick on the key and that was that. I don't know if the amp would run
key-down at limit but as a marketing guy myself I would have at least
had some good believable answer for the curious - maybe "the amp will do
the job but here at Hara we keep blowing their breaker if we don't use
dits." ha ha.
Happy New Year.

This was my understanding as well.
By those definitions there is no such thing as a "CCS" amateur amp. "No
Time Limit" is just marketing fluff.
I thought there were several big amps that could operate at 1500 watts
output with no time limit. Alpha among others advertises as such. The
Alpha 87A has two 3CX800s, with a total of 1600 watts plate dissipation.
It should be able to run 1500 watts out without limit.
Or am I missing something?
