I+am+looking+for+information+regarding+raising+the+output+of+the+6300+XVTR+port+to+1+watt+to+drive+a

Presently I use the ANT #2 port to excite and receive using my DEMI 144-28 common IF and common RF XVTR. Unfortunately my DEMI requires a minimum of 1 watt to produce any usable output on the 2 meter RF output which is not available on the 6300's XVTR port. I use ANT #2 but this is not the best way to employ an XVTR on the 6300. This scenario (although working nicely now) does introduces a degree of risk of over driving the XVTR unit as well as the lack of some of the features that are only available if the XVTR port is used. I am looking thru the catalogs now for possible solid state devices that could provide this +10dBM to 1 watt output and thought it best to see if this has already been done ? What are others using XVTRs requiring more than +10dbM to excite their XVTR doing to address this issue ? The experimentation in this area have been fun but must come to an end to protect my investments / property.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated !!
