Hi Ken and Norm,
On my UHF LTR system I have several home channels in the 5 ch system that are almost continuous transmit during the date time. I have the TKR850's running at 35wt and they have survived for two years so far with no ill affects.

Of course, they are not transmitting 24/7. <----As an Authorized Kenwood Dealer, we have "a ton" of TKR's that we sold into amateur service, running either 40 (UHF) or 50 (VHF) watts with no ill effects. Sure, they're not 24/7 keydown but since the redesigned PA, we simply don't see failures. And while we can't "officially" recommend it, we've never seen a problem from doing so.
