Do the search/research. Hams who have gone thru this nightmare more than
once already are weary, weary .  .  . Do you actually have a plate
modulated rig going now with > 375w design norm? If you do be thankful and
don't worry about it. If you don't have one build one up and put it on the
air. Concern should be focussed on clean signals that don't interfere with
neighbors or other band users. These are the real issues- not imaginary
ones like definitions of power levels. Use the power you need to get thru
the static, int bc, and ssb splatter. Am'ers are the minority and have to
endure much to keep the art functioning. Bill K2AME
