Well, some bad news on my inv L with a 80M trap.

I used the amp for the first time two nights ago on 80M.
Everything was fine for a little while, tuning up, with very low
swr, around 1.2.

Well the trap failed with high power.

So, I guess i must recommend that you do not use rg8x foam for a trap if
you plan on high power.

I changed the trap to some old rg8 I had laying around and it handles full
power without a problem.
