Re: T1 at 35W?

Kurt,

The real answer is that it all depends on the RF voltage maximum that
the T1 will see - and that depends on the band, your antenna and the
feedline.  There can be no positive or negative answers unless all the
parameters are known - Antenna impedance at each operating frequency and
length and type of feedline at are critical to how much RF voltage the
T1 must handle.  What will work for one set of conditions may not work
for another.

I doubt that the T1 will handle 35 watts in the general case (that is
why it is rated for 20 watts) - you may be able to use it at 35 watts
under carefully controlled conditions, but if one must go to all that
trouble, why not just switch to resonant antennas with a 50 ohm feedline
and no tuner required?

73,
