[Elecraft] Tuning AL-811H

[Ian Kahn - Ham]

Jeff,

When I try to use CW, all I get are transmitted dits or dahs.  The 
breaks register as zero output, so the needles on the amp bounce around 
and are hard to read.  Any suggestions on using CW to generate that 
continuous carrier out to the amp so that the needles don't bounce 
around and I can adjust it properly?

Thanks and 73,
