"Amen" to Max's comments. Bear in mind that unlike the modern "Load up
a wet string" tuners, the MN-2000 will not match highly reactive loads.
If the SWR is much more than about 5:1, it won't match it. So, if your
antenna is fairly well tuned to begin with, the MN-2000 won't even know
it has a l50W transmitter attached Drake rated it 1000W continuous duty
as I recall.

I run a BC-375 (350w+ carrier) through a Johnson Kilowatt Matchbox,
similar power ratings with no problems, most of this older kit is very
conservatively rated I would have no worries running 350w of AM
through the MN-2000, it will cope with 150w with ease. By the way
listen for Europe AM'ers on 3705, when you get up and running. If you
ran that sort of power through a modern atu with an internal balun you
will run into problems.

Subject: [Drakelist] MN2000 on AM
Greetings!
I was wondering what folks think about running AM with an MN-2000 tuner.
The power would be around 100-150 watts, but of course the duty cycle is
100% on this mode. I would imagine that as long-winded as I am I could
be key-down for five to seven minutes <yeah uh-huh>. Would the MN-2000
hold up?
Thanks!
