Default Through-glass antenna power limits

That sounds like a girl waiting until she is just a litte bit pregnant to
stat us birth control.
Either the glass cracks, it starts to delaminate, or you fry your
finals, all could be too far by the time you see it.



It is the ratings of the components in the matching unit that limit the
power rating not the glass, you will get smoke well before any damage to
the glass.

So far the only damageI have seen from this is to the lamination inside the
glass. I wouldnt want to wait until this occurs before I decided to quit.
