100 watts vs. 200 watts. 3 dB of gain. I think it does more for the

I believe that the 200 watt version of the FT-2000 has a class-A mode of
operation for SSB, which provides 75 watts output with much better IMD
specs. This requires a beefier final stage.
Although I don't operate SSB, my friends that do say that the general
run of transceivers are pretty poor in terms of IMD (this is *before*
the less-competent operators use excessive processing, change the
settings of internal power adjustments, or yell into the mic), and they
think that this feature is definitely a good thing.
