[ICOM] AH4 antenna tuner RF power question

[David Ashworth]

Hi to all, here is a question just out of general curiosity.  The AH4 seems
to be rated at 125 watts. Some specs say PEP, others just say just 125
watts.  I also have an antenna  tuner from another company that is rated 200
watts PEP and they recommend only 80 watts in a digital mode. I have used my
Icom 706 at 100 watts on RTTY contests with the AH4 for hours and have had
nothing but good luck.   Would  anyone have any ideas about what RF power
level is safe for the AH4 running in a mode like RTTY?  Any sad stories or
good stories if you happen to forget and put to much into it?  Curious, what
goes first.  I see there is a small fuse inside of the tuner.  Hopefully,
that might go before something else.  Just curious, thanks for the comments,
Dave, NC6P.
