There's nothing wrong with the superposition principle.
It simply doesn't apply to certain circuits including
the average commercial amateur radio transmitter.

Hi Cecil -

There are examples of superposition in commercial equipment. Check
out the QSC Audio web page. In particular note the specs on their
stereo power amps in bridged mode.

Your expectation of obtaining 400 watts from two 100 watt radios hints
at a possible error in your understanding regarding simultaneously
superposing voltages and currents. Just a thought.
