Is it ok to run 100w through the PGXL when it is in Standby-mode?

    Standby mode is basically a bypass input to the output there is no problem running 100 watts. This is true of most any power amps in standby mode. You can even use your built in tuner, when in amp standby, if you have one, to tune the antenna. Basically other then some switches (relays) it is like a piece of wire. Most likely the SWR and output monitoring is still done, also.
