No generalized statement should be made about many different rigs by many different manuafactures used in different operating conditions, without your modifying statements.

I tend to agree if you are running AFSK since you are using modulation, but if using FSK and the rig is rated for 100% duty cycle, no problem. There have been a fair number of rigs rated at 100% duty cycle over the last 20 years, but not all.

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
