Hi Steve:

I've been reading through that info already including the tuning
supplement.
I think I'll use his A.M method but in CW mode. That is, preset the knobs
to the initial start settings and band, set the exciters drive to 10 or 20
watts, key down for no more than 5 2NDS, adjusting the plate for max power
at that level, or pitch with the TW-1.
Go back to stand by, setting the exciter up to about 60 watts, rekeying
increasing the load and tweaking the plate, then just switch to SSB,
reducing the drive to around 45W or so and just go ahead and operate.
I don't like is actual CW tuning method of pre-setting the exciters drive
at 80W prior too keying down, adjusting the plate and load controls.
I'm no expert but that sounds like a good way to blow the crap our of
things pretty quickly. LOL
