[FLWSS] DEM 2304 and power amps

[wlbaber at bellsouth.net]

It would be nice to add a little power on 2304mhz  before the June contest...so I'm thinking ahead.

Does the small sma relay supplied with the DEM 2304 transverter have sufficient isolation if a
power amplifier, say 10-20 watts, is added to the transverter output? 

I am using a 902mhz DEM preamp (mast mounted) with a high isolation relay and DEM 902 transverter (in the shack), and a footswitch, without damanging the preamp.  I don't see why I can't do the same thing at 2304mhz but I 've seem warnings about damage to preamp at the higher microwave frequencies...is a simple sequencer necessary?  

BTW, I hope the beacon on 432.307 is off line 'cause I'm not hearing it.
