I just thought it was a bit strange to show full output on 30 at a US based 
hamfest.  Yes, other regions are allowed more on 30.  And, yes, sinking full 
power into a DL is quite legal.   
Acknowledge being called out.  I would have voiced a disclaimer but thats me.  
Heck I can easily set and lock each band on my K3 to whatever min drive power I 
need on 30 to get 200 out of the amp and full out on all other bands.
Finally, it was a world event so the demo was valid to show other regions they 
are not limited to 200, as it is being sold by a US company and they might 
think so. Sort of like the 5 KW and 10KW amps with big mama Russian  tubes I 
saw on display from some eastern European companies at Dayton about 25 years 
ago.  Why at Dayton?  Reasons above apply.
