[Boatanchors] Coax power capability

Hi Ray,

     If your running Sideband or CW, then you'll have no trouble using for 2KW+
When you start running AM or FM then 5 to 600 watts begins to push it a 
little.  The dielectric
is good for  quite a  bit or voltage, but any mismatch creates a lot of 
heating and that when you begin to have
problems.


Thanks!!
