Hi,

I have a batch of sweepers and I plan to use them in transmitter finals. 
However, I intend to run them conservatively in low power transmitters 
and transverters. Applications where a 6146 would be a waste.

I would be leery of pushing a sweeper for all it will take and then 
adding just a little more.
