The easiest solution by far is an external power attenuator between the TPL amplifier and your transmitter to reduce power. This is a bolt on, or rather thread-on option that works easiest.
?
Power attenuators are easy to order from Pasternack, ebay or Amazon and can be ordered with appropriate "N" connectors attached. Calculate the power you need to dissipate and the dB level of attenuation for the correct "drive", order appropriate model, then attach..... That simple!
?
The above is the "solderless" solution to your problem........

? ?You can't 100% rely on what the manuals say for TPL over at RB because if you own a later FET designed amplifier, they have no manuals for them, (RD60/RD70 FET) designs from the early 2000's onward till their demise.
