it can but you don't want to do that. you will never be able to reach 100% modulation from this carrier/dead key level, and the radio will heat up very fast.

And not only that, but no one on the receiving end will ever see the difference on their S-Meter if you are using 50 watts or 75 watts. Your RF power HAS to be a bit more than doubled just for them to see a little more than a 1/2 S-unit increase on their S-Meter.

And besides, your 95-T "will not" live long at a constant power level of 75 watts. That's not what it was designed for. For it to swing to 75 or more is one thing, but for it to maintain a constant carrier of 75 watts is asking for a short lived radio.
