Dick,

XMIT gain 9:30
Plate     7.5
Load      2.5
RF tune   5.7
Output    150 watts,
Current   440 ma

Could tune up to about 175 watts but then current would be over 500 ma. 
  Hope that helps.  I'm trying to preserve my sanity too.  Lost the slug 
on L7.  Know its on the floor somewhere!!!  HI HI..

GL,

Bill, K3PGB
