[Elecraft] Subjecting W2 V/UHF Sensor to more than 200W

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Thank you Bob, that is potentially the max output from the amp - but I’m planning on driving it from an XV144 (which I haven’t built yet) and will set that for a lower output, so I don’t get more than 200W on the sensor at the mast head
