Kurt,

The real answer is that it all depends on the RF voltage maximum that the T1 will see - and that depends on the band, your antenna and the feedline. There can be no positive or negative answers unless all the parameters are known - Antenna impedance at each operating frequency and length and type of feedline at are critical to how much RF voltage the T1 must handle. What will work for one set of conditions may not work for another.

I doubt that the T1 will handle 35 watts in the general case (that is why it is rated for 20 watts) - you may be able to use it at 35 watts under carefully controlled conditions, but if one must go to all that trouble, why not just switch to resonant antennas with a 50 ohm feedline and no tuner required?

73,

So I am getting a little 35W amp for the Softrock 6.2 I have on order.
Will I have problems if I use my 20W T1 at 35W?  I plan to do CW, SSB, and 
digitial modes.

Anyone else tempting the fates on the T1?
