My SS AMP need 30~45w to get 1200w or so, I never try to see what will
happen if I set the input power to 100w. Even the AMP have some room for
that(I think) -- it use 16*MRF150.
By the way, ALC cable not used. So maybe it is a good idea to add this
function -- I hope it will be limit for per band,hihi.
