The manual says that the maximum recommended power for PSK31 is 40W, and
for higher duty cycle modes such as MFSK it is 25W. I'm not sure what
the duty cycles are for those two modes - but 25W would probably be a
safe level.

You can set it to off, low speed, or high speed. Regardless of the
setting, it will run at high speed when the heatsink is above 40 degrees
celsius.

AFSK only.

Yes. You will also need the SSB option for digital modes, including RTTY
(otherwise you have no way to do AFSK).
