Thanks much Doug. I figured as much. I think running the PA at half power should be safe then.

It will make full power and full sensitivity in 52/53 mhz, but I would de-rate the PA by a bit to protect it if it is going to be on a lot. I have not seen one which did not tune up on 6m just fine.. and I know of at least one which left the factory in the late 70's tuned on 6m... 52.525 as I recall on channel 2.... repeater splits in others...
