If it's the sg23 or what ever the 23 amp model of samlex is, I know it ends 
in a 23, I have run that at special event stations before with a 2 meter 
radio and my IC-706 on HF before and it doesn't complain or get hot so you 
should be set. I was at one event even with those radios making contacts, 
then a third radio just monitoring a frequency for ops for that event and it 
still didn't complain.
