Good point on overdriving the digital modes. But my question really
pertained to whether or not running at near-max power levels would be
too hard on the little guy...?

Up to now I have been using the Flex-1500 to do WSPR at amazingly
low power levels.
But now I'd like to run some PK31, RTTY, Olivia, etc.
Is there any problem running the 1500 at full power in these modes?
Or should I restrict it to no more than half-power? It doesn't
appear to have a temperature monitoring pane like the Flex-3000.
Remember that PSK31 has an amplitude component. Do not run the 1500
at full power on PSK or you will end up with a broad signal. I
normally set TX Gain in VAC to -2dB to ensure that there is
headroom in the PA.
