The following is from the GAP website:

"UNIQUE FEATURES STANDARD TO ALL GAP ANTENNAS

    * Unique "Elevated" Feed
    * No Tuning Required
    * No Traps
    * Automatic Band Switching
    * No Turner Required
    * Input Power : Legal Limit*       <=== note the "*" (no reference to
it)
    * Input Impedance : 52 ohms Nominal"


When I queried GAP about my Titan DX, they said, "On the Titan, the only
place we caution you with power is on 75/80 meters.  If you are
running a mode that is continuous duty cycle, we recommend you
drop your power to 500 Watts or less.  If it is not continuous duty
cycle, you can run full legal limit.  On 40 through 10 meters, you
will have not problem running full legal limit with any mode."

I would ASSUME that the same would apply to the Voyager DX (?).
