Well I dug out my MSR2000 hiband service manual, and as I remembered, the PA is intermittent duty and not continuous duty. The manual does mention a temperature sensor that goes to a feed back loop and reduces output power for self preservation when things get hot. The radio is pretty much a Mitrek design with what looks pretty close to a Micor PA. I set up one hiband station with a dual receiver (some kind of telco simplex base / repeater operation and it seemed like out of the box I could not get full power out - I did not try and do any modes on a 2M ham freq. I also maintained an UHF MSR - Med Base / Rept - seems like 75 watt version and had a couple of collector burns in the PA - otherwise seemed to be OK stations. Steve NU5D
