I disagree.

If you are into 10 minuet rag chew transmissions maybe...

For contesting the duty cycle is pretty low. 5 seconds transmit and at least 10 seconds receive is less than 50 % duty cycle.

We ran Icom IC751 and 751As at WA7EGA, (now K7IRA) for many many years at 100 watts output in contests. Never had a PA failure.

No xcvr should be run at more than 50% power for RTTY.

Hi,

I would like to hear from anyone who has used a Flexradio 6300 barefoot at
100w in low power RTTY contesting, especially if you run a  lot.

The reason is some of the reviews in eHam.net mention  the 6300 has
overheating problems.

I would want to use it for extended, heavy duty RTTY contest  activity.



I'm not concerned about fan noise.



I'd also like to know about anyone's experience with the  Maestro
interface.  I kneed knobs.

Thanks & 73,
Ken,  AB1J
