[ARC5] Command Transmitter Plate Voltage

[k0ng at inebraska.com]

Jim: IMHO, it depends on if you are going to use it on Fone or CW ??
It will work with 600 V in both cases but I like to "Loaf" my tubes a bit,
like they wont last forever. I would use 600V on CW but about 400 V on
Fone. Depends on whether you want to keep it near "original" or Ham it UP??

Just my opinion.  Let us know what band you will be on, look fer U there OM.
