CAUTION
There are dangerously high voltages inside the amplifier when the power is
switched on. DO NOT remove the covers unless the power has been disconnected
and sufficient time has elapsed for the capacitors to discharge.
NOTE
The 2m Discovery is capable of a greater power than the CW rating shown in the
specifications. In order to achieve the stated PEP output, the amplifier must be
capable of operating CW at the same level for short periods. Do not try to operate the
amplifier at greater than the recommended level.
If the amplifier is operated for long periods at levels greater than the recommended
ones, then damage may occur. This applies particularly to the GS 31 valve, so great
care should be taken not to exceed 1Amp plate current or to drive with more than
100W continuous wave drive. Also, care should be taken not to exceed 1.5 : 1 SWR.
