The MN2000 was built for 2000 watts P.E.P. SSB INPUT, or about 1000 watts P.E.P output on SSB. Considering a 100 watt AM transmitter equates to 400 P.E.P output, you should be able to run 250 watts AM continuous duty Plate modulation. However that would be the max I would use it at. Another way to look at this if you have the MN2000 manual is to look up what Drake indicates the tuner can handle using other continuous duty modes such at RTTY.

It was designed for use with the L4 & L4-B series of linear amplifiers. I ran RTTY for years with a T4X-C; MN-2000 and an SB-220. RTTY is essentially "AM" but frequency shift keyed. 73 Chuck, AC7GZ Daniel Wright wrote: > > Greetings! > > I was wondering what folks think about running AM with an MN-2000 tuner.
