[Boatanchors] Using a SG-230 tuner on AM

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

Carl and otherson the boatanchors list:
 
I believe the SGC-230 is rated at 125 Watts PEP.
 
Since the Viking, DX-100, 32V-*, B&W, etc. ran
close to 120 Watts carrier, 100% modulation would
cause PEP output to be 400-500 Watts.
 
I don't believe it advisable to risk running that
sort of power into the SGC.
 
I'm pretty sure most list members are aware of that
fact but I believe that it bears refreshing.
