Wouldn't want to go much higher than 5W though -- you want to maintain linearity, and PSK31 has a peak-to-average-power-ratio of 3dB. 73, Matt VK2RQ

On m 12V batteries, mine are almost that way at full power, the heat sink at the bottom definitely gets warm but seems to go forever without getting hot. On a regulated PS, though, that doesn't drop into the 11v range like my batts, that may not be true.... 73, LS W5QD -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/PBSK31-tp7616597p7616600.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to matt.vk...@gmail.com ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
