Hi All: 

Has anyone pushed the TW-1 to a sustained 2KW or at least to 1500W CW? ? 
Certainly I've ran it at 1KWSSB but I just listened to a youtube video on the Alpha 8410 and the Guy kicked in the fan on the 5KW dummy load in about 3 or 4 minutes of amplifier testing. 
He started off with about 25W drive into the amp, resulting in 1KW out and went all the way up to about 2150 with 55 into the amp. 
Again the fans on the Palstar 5K dummy load cut in in about 3 or 4 minutes! LOL 
What would this do to the TW-1?
