[1000mp] ft1000 MP or field low power

[Bill Shell]

Noel,

On RTTY I run my MkV-Field around mid-point between the 50W and 100W on 
the bar scale.  The fan does run intermittently.  Especially during 
CQing when the duty cycle exceeds 50%.  I haven't had any problems using 
the MkV-Field at the ~75W level, and the radio seems to stay comfortably 
cool.  I'm glad you asked this question, since I'm also curious what 
other MP owners are running as an output power for RTTY.

73, Bill
