Only under "lab conditions" :-) Using a vague definition, I'm thinking consistent = best operation over the long term, optimum = best short-term. I've accidentally made a 75 watt Micor UHF PA crank out 200 watts short term by overdriving it, but the long-term performance will eventually degrade to 0 watts... --- Jeff Yahoo!
