[TMC] TAC-1 power limit ??

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Ed,

The TAC-1 manual says that TMC rated it at 1KW continuous carrier. Since it 
was built for use with the GPT-750 family, I would assume that to include 
at 100% modulation. And it does not give any derating figures versus either 
output frequency or load impedance.
