Everything technical about radio can be discussed here, whether it's transmitting or receiving. Guides, charts, diagrams, etc. are all welcome.

They run a single MRF300 on 250W and a double on 500W and it's runs cool for 24/7 dat in and out.
I have some MRF300 transmitters running also 24/7 and no problem
But overdrive or mismatch on the Gate will be a problem and will blow your MRF (never overdrive more then 1dB)
According to the service manual the low power transmitter lines 50-100W all use MRF300 AN but with 24v instead of 48v. I had some on my workbench but I didn't inspect the output stages. I will definitely take a closer look at it when it is on my desk again.

So it seems these devices need to be way under run to get 24/7 reliability.
Maybe the 100W and 300W specs were thought to be achieved using the devices in pairs?
