[Boatanchors] HT-40 Question additional

[Rodger]

Lee,

You are correct that you "peak for max" on the HT-40.  It does not 
monitor plate current which is unfortunate.  The only metering is for 
grid drive and relative output.

This omission is true of much of the later Halli gear, my HT-44 and 
SR-150 are also "tune for max" with plate current metering available 
only by hooking up an external meter to the external power supply.  I 
guess they were preparing early for the dumbing down of ham radio and 
thus "simplified" the tuning procedure.
