[Elecraft] PAR END FEDS

[David Yarnes]

Chuck,

You don't say which model you have.  The QRP version 
maybe???  If so, you don't want to try running 100 watts 
through it!

In any event, you shouldn't need a tuner unless you are 
trying to use the antenna on a band it's not designed for. 
I suspect PAR's warning was perhaps because the matching 
network may not be stout enough to withstand a really bad 
mismatch while you are trying to tune it.  Perhaps you can 
get away with it if you drop your power way down while 
tuning, but I'd be wary of doing that.
