---------------------------------------------
That was true for linear amps for SSB service but CW purists could crank up
the plate voltage to around 900v. and get 240 watts input class C.  - maybe
170 watts out.  Plans are in the 1975
ARRL handbook. (T9er) .  In linear service, 100 watts out would be about
max.

I think the KAT100 only does this for the K2.  This new kit would be useable
for all rigs, like the T1.
