I'm a licensed Navy MARS operator. It is not uncommon to have very long digital messages that need to be sent using digital modes that will take longer than 10 minutes to send. This limitation pretty much eliminates this amplifier from being able to be used in my shack for MARS purposes. Now with that said, we don't often need to use an amplifier to send digitally, but in the event I did, I couldn't do it with this amp if there is a 10 minute duty cycle.
