[Flexradio] Question about the PA in the Flex-3000

Is running my radio at 5 watts for prolonged periods (all the time mostly recently) harmful to the PA in the Flex-3000? I have been running WSPR 24/7 for weeks now. Steven -- Sent from my Linux box. Regards de KC6KGE. A very happy Flex-3000 user. Skype flamebait Gmail flamebait at

Running the 3000 @ 100 watts for a prolonged period of time will not hurt the PA transistors. The FlexRadio engineers have done a 100 watt key down for an hour and the PA transistors did not get near the max operating temperature. De-rating down to 5 watts, it will run forever. -Tim
