If it is still putting out the expected power, it's OK.
Today I was racing the bands so much during a POTA activation that I noticed I CQ'd two times 5 W in FT8?on 6 m using the wrong output (antenna was in the rear but the menu was selected FRONT). After I noticed, I corrected and the radio operated normally on both outputs (apparently).
How much did I ruin the radio??
