[Boatanchors] B&W 425 LPF?

[rbethman]

Glen,

I do believe that WE do indeed know what the legal limit is.

1) I indeed dial down the BC-610 and T-213 to 375W carrier.  It has to 
be done consciously. 
2) I further dial down the modulation - even with 375W carrier these two 
radios WILL bang the peak reading Bird end of scale at 2500W.  I always 
dial it back to 1500W peak.

3) listen on the bands - here those that OBVIOUSLY are NOT doing the above!

Now you can run 1500 watts of carrier if running FM or PM on any frequency on which phone operation is allowed except for the 5 channel 60 meter band.  The only provision is that the modulation index cannot exceed 1 below 29.0 MHz.
