Hi Brent:
We rate the Titan at 1000 watts key down output, indefinite time limit.
When building the Titan for military use, we ran the Titan at 1000 watts
output, key down, for 24 straight hours as one of the tests. The military
version of the Titan was exactly the same amplifier as sold for amateur
radio use except the power supply was built in a rack mount case. You can
certainly run the Titan at 1500 watts key down for RTTY use. We do not
recommend running it key down at 1500 watts for long, extended periods of
time, but for "normal" RTTY use it will be fine.
