[1000mp] ft1000 MP or field low power

[Rod Elliott]

Good Morning Noel...

I run my Field at 50 watts on both RTTY and PSK. The fan operates a 
lot with that output, so I'm not comfortable going any higher.

Running digital at no more than fifty percent of rated power is 
excellent practise with any rig. During contests, 40 percent is more 
conservative. Observing those limits could save you many K$ in finals 
during a lifetime.
