You can have many things happen, but basically you at lease need a lower dead key, my radio dead keys 1.5 watts and swings, drives my amp good, a matched amp/radio will last a good long time, if not matched you can burn up the pills in the amp, finals in the radio ect,,,,,,and..................

I think the low power that RA has it set at is 1.5 watt's , 4.5 on High but it'll swing 45 . So hopefully in a week i'll have an RA 250 . but not sure if my K-40 will handle the power of the amp .
