Yes, someone pointed that out to me off-list.
There was an optional setup that could be purchased that used two of the
100W PA's driving into a combiner setup to get to something near 200W.
It's not common to find those on the used market -- so I'll stick by my
comment to the gentleman looking for one, he's *probably* not going to
find one...
Thanks to Larry and some other folks who e-mailed off-list to get the
"correct" info out -- always good to be accurate! :-)
