Tom,

What I do is start off with low power and when I have the tuner in the ball 
park, I crank it up and always finish with the full 100 watts.  BTW, I was 
in error yesterday when I told you to note the difference in tones between 
signal and no signal.  As you probably noticed, when you unkey, the tone 
stops.  I guess I must have been thinking of my old home brew oscilator I 
used to use for tuning in the old days.  That tone continued even when I 
would stop transmitting.  And your quite right, the TW1 is terific.  Lou
