Yes they do. I just replaced 3 800 Mhz PA's yesterday with the new Crescend PA. They are lighter for sure. The label on one I remember looking at was marked as 8.1 Amps for 100W out. When I was at M/A-Com last year for an EDACS class, one of the instructors was talking about the new PA's and commented that they operate them at 10 watts with no problems. Try that with one of the older Mastr III or Mastr II PA's.
