Steve,? Yes it is. I have a ftdx5000 and there is a setting in the radio (which many modern radios have) max output 200w, and i set it down to 50w as i feel thats a good safety measure for extra protection.? I was in the cw contest this past weekend. Single band 15m. On this band i noticed i dont need much drive to get 900w out. 35w over drives it and kicks it out for me only on 15m. I feel better knowing its only 50 max that will kick it out instead of the full 200 if i ever tx everywhere else. Interesting note. At the start of the contest, ?I was having a few end of tx bypasses amp kicking out and was getting annoying.? I checked the back connectors and one was not very tight. In the summer, i disconnect that connector for lighting and i guess the last time i did it didnt go tight enough. After that, issue resolved. I have put many contest hours into this amp in the past couple years. Its been a work horse for me and a solid performer. Excellent amp.? Barry Ve6um?
