I'm not sure if the IC-T2A can do full power TX for extended periods,
as required for a fox transmitter. If you switch it to low power, then the current will be lower and hence less of an issue. Keep in mind that most fox hunting is *AM*. This is actually not difficult: locate a mobile rig with ALC/SWR protection (a crystal rig is fine), adjust it to 1/4 of the max rated power, then insert the audio modulation through a capacitor to the SWR/ALC circuit. With luck, the ALC circuit will nicely modulate the PA in AM. With the rigs I used, the modulation was clean, not exactly linear but sufficient for wobbler tones or EISH5 as required for fux hunting. As a benefit, mobile rigs (especially when turned down) stand a batter chance of being able to survive 100% key-down for a fox hunt, as it's heat design will be better than the T2A handheld..
