The taller fiberglass sticks are rated between 1500-2000 watts, depending on the model. The K40 trucker is rated at 7000 watts, although I don't know anyone personally who's ever ran that much power through one.

There is a small capacitor inside each of the standard K-40 antennas if I remember right they cant handle much over 200 watts.
