Page 6 states, when the amplifier is in the Single Sideband mode, SSB or CW, the amplifier is in the linear mode and delivers 1200+ peak to the antenna.
Tuned or unturned, if the toroids or tuned circuits are running hot, then too much RF is not going to the antenna, a re-think of circuit components, and design is a good idea. Am signing off the thread for now. Thanks to everyone for the input. 73 Bruce-K1FZ > As the manual explains, the amplifier has two > modes, linear and non linear.
