"I've considered building up a screen or suppressor modulated AM exciter specifically for use with the linear.  Grid modulated rigs, of course, have to be tuned up just like a linear, i.e., loaded and tuned to the CW level and then cut back to 1/4 of this for talking, thus providing the tune-up and operate drive values required by the linear."

Howabout driving the amp with an unmodulated signal, then grid modulate the amp? That way, you'd have only one stage requiring finicky adjustments.
