[Swan] Drive power for TV2? series transverters

[Jacob Tennant]

Someone asked the other day what was the drive power needed for the TV2
series of Swan transverters?

I have checked all 3 model's manuals and find NO REFERENCE to the amount of
power needed to drive the transverter.

I am however hoping to try my TV2B out on my Alinco DX-70t 10watt 6meter
radio to see if it will work and how much output I can get as with the Swan
250 I have I get 85+/- watts output on 144.200Mhz.

Another note, the tube used in the TV2 series transverters is only rated for
a maximum output of 85watts, yet the books for these units say they do
240wattsSSB which is impossible!
