Actually, ICOMs are rated at full power on RTTY and FM - even my tiny 706MK2g at 100W. Been this way with ICOM for years now, I think. See www.icomamerica.com . From the 756PRO3 description on their web site: "the IC-756PROIII uses two 2SC5125 transistors in the PA Unit. Along with superior IMD characteristics, these transistors have plenty of power to allow for 100W full duty cycle operation. Advanced design considerations along with an aluminum, die-cast frame, and large cooling fan, help to stabilize the PA circuit providing full duty cycle operation."
