I have a TS-830S from a friend....low output (30-40 watts) but 250ma plate 
current.  Good tubes, relay cleaned and contacts re-set, checked driver 
coupling cap etc...done all the usuals.  Voltages check out pretty well. 
Anyone been there, done that?

On CW it idles at 60ma as it does on SSB...is this normal for this rig?  I 
don't have an op manual but I thought the tubes were completely cut off on 
CW.
