FT8 is a continuous carrier mode. True that it is MFSK, but there is only ONE tone present at any given time. This has been explained many times by the developers and Joe Taylor himself in various WSJTX forums. You can treat it like CW for PEP measurement. It is the duty cycle that can kill. That's why I like the TR7. I can run full power FT/JT all day and it handles it well.

To get that kind of power out, I am sure the driver rig is beyond its pro limits , since FT8 is a accumulated pep mode, ? Most 100 watt pep should only be run at 1/2 power, or 50 watts out
