Brian,
Most MaxTrac radios will run okay at 50% power, and some will go lower
and still be stable. However, be aware that a radio that is rock-steady
when feeding a resistive dummy load may go bonkers when feeding a
reactive load such as an antenna or cavity. It's always a good idea to
look at the TX signal on a spectrum analyzer while feeding the intended
load rather than a dummy load. It may make a big difference if a
ferrite isolator is on the TX output to provide a stable load impedance.
