Kind of a delayed reply here, but relevent. I bought my RC210 and TKR-750 from
Ken and have run the low usage TKR at 50 watts with no ill effects. Even with
moderate key downs it just doesn't get hot.

In the TKR750 service manual under specs it use to state for continous duty
turn down to 15 W. Have to look hard for this spec.
The PA was, not sure if still is, a one transistor PA and have seen the PA PCB
chard around the transistor.
This was a Ham repeater. Most commerical applications req
desired. They seem to be
about as selective as a uniden scanner. Sensitivity is not a problem
however. ;-)

It depends on what portables you are using with the Kenwood repeater.
Some, but not all of the newer CPS programmed equipment have a setting
checkbox marked something like "Use non-standard PL decode" which can
