[ICOM] 756 Pro II

[Tony Lord]

Hi All,

Many thanks for everyone's replies to my posting. I have taken no offence
from any replies and always appreciate comments when I make a posting.
Bottom line I have learned is that the rig is more than capable to transmit
100 watts continuously in FM (or whatever mode) but maybe not the best way
to test a dummy load!! Hi Hi! Further things last longer if used below their
recommended maximums. 

My main mode of operation is SSB, running 50 - 60 watts into the amp, so my
rig is usually run well within limits.

Thanks to all, see you on the air,

73's de Tony G8DQZ

There are many mechnical and electrical items on this planet rated at 100% 
duty cycle with plenty of safety margin.  That does not mean one would do 
such a thing just to do such a thing.

But, in the end, it's not my radio he is running that way.  The suggestions 
made were not criticism of him, but were meant to be helpful.  There are 
also better ways to test a dummy load.

I'll be more careful next time in the way and manner in which I help someone

or make a suggestion.
