I am building a 2KW PEP linear to be driven by my 32S-1. In the
instructions for tuning the linear they say to start with a cw signal of
low power and then switch to the SSB full drive (in this case, about
100Watts) According to the SWR meter my 32S-1 is hitting 120 watts on
voice peaks
Now the question? How do I get a low level CW signal from the 32S-1 for
the prelininary tuning and will I need to reduce the output from its
current 120W on peaks when using ther Linear? The amp is a 4-1000A
running at 3KV plate voltage.which according to my reading will require
100 watts of drive for full legal power.
