[Elecraft] 100 Watts or 500 Watts

[Don Wilhelm]

  Dale,

I am not going to question the legality of the 18 dB gain you are 
getting on that SPE nor what the SPE documents filed with the FCC say 
about the maximum gain - Mu understanding is only that the FCC says 15 
dB is the maximum, and I expect Elecraft will comply with that.  What 
other companies do is not a concern of mine - I am not in any 
enforcement role.

73,
