Tony, will that 3 dB be noticed by users? Probably, no. Will it increase power consumption, heat generation, potential for desense if the antenna is compromised by age/weather/damage, intermod risks, and long-term maintenance costs? Probably yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes.
Without knowing more about your specific situation, if you're already at 50 watts, 100 is probably not worth the trade-offs. 73, Paul AE4KR ----- Original Message ----- From: Tony L.
