[AMRadio] Modulator question

[Paul Baldock]

The screen is not tapped on the mod tranny. It is pure DC. at about 
half the plate voltage.

I think however the issue may be related to the screen, because in a 
typical EL34 output the screen is run at the same voltage as the 
plate. I did not do this because my plate voltage is about 660V.  I 
will try upping the screen voltage (and readjusting the bias of course)

Thanks
