Hi Mike, JT65 is one minute transmitting (or more exactly 50 seconds) and 1 minute receiving.
For other digital modes your transmission length is of course depending on how much you want to "say" per transmission. See Owner's Manual on page 9. I am reading this as if it should be possible to transmit for up to 10 minutes with full power. But I am not 100% sure. Listen to the fan or check the PA temperature.

One of the modes I was looking at was JT65 and it as I understand has long keydown times. Do I have to keep the rig at 5 watts for all digi modes and more so with the long key down time of JT65 what power recommendations are there for that?MikeVE3WDM ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
