That's an odd design feature. If it's capable of 10W, why a switched 5W option? 10W is pushing the limit of, if not exceeding, what you can cleanly pump into a 50-ohm load with 13.75V. Unless the des

Gap seals are most effective when pressure differential above/below the wing surface is the greatest -- in the climb. Hence they are very popular on gliders. Regards, Fred F., A063
