In the manual it is written that you can improve from 40W to arround 50W by obmitting the input and output isolators. This is written on page 5 and the pictures are on page 6. 20W is written is the performance without changes to the PA. Maybe you should try to measure your result on an unmodified one, to get a good comparison of your changes.
Hi Heiner, where find manual ?
