Mark,
If I may throw my two cents into this.
I would not run the power into the cavities more than they are rated for.
You could be really looking for problems down the road as Eric said. Look at
it this way. You can buy many different tires for say a Corvette. Some of
the may be only rated at say 100 MPH and cheaper. The Vet may run 140 - 150.
That 100 MPH tire will most likely hold up at 140 or 150 MPH, but do you
want to be the one to find out if it would or would not. I would not bet MY
life on it. This analogy may be crude but I think that it works. The same
goes for the duplexers. I would not be bet the life or my PAs either.
Another viewpoint.
The rating of the cavities by be what you can inject into the duplex system
and still maintain the isolation rating. You may not harm the cavities but I
still stick with what I said earlier. Drop the power to 100 Watts. This or
see if you can pick up another set of cavities. The ones that I picked up
were near new from a local two-way shop and I think are rated at 250 Watts.
I think that I gave 250 for them. May have just got lucky but maybe you can
also.
Just my two cents worth.
