kx1 r30 mod / max power question

David Toepfer
I finally did it and put a 330 in place of the 220 for R30.  It made all the
difference.  I can not get 2W on internal battery.  My only concern is that on
external gel cell power I sometimes get max power of between 4 and 5 W  Is this
too much power for the power transistor to handle?  I could trim it back, but
then i would have to trim it ahead every time I use internal batteries and I
know that trimmer does not have the turns life of a proper pot.
