[Hallicrafters] Calling SR-2000 "Hurricane" Hams

[Charlie]

Hi John.

Take a hint from a former NCL-2000 owner (also uses a pair of 8122's)  Watch 
the screen current as an indicator of tank resonance.  It will peak when 
tuned.  Start with light loading and keep cranking the load control up to 
lower the grid and screen current, until the proper plate current is reached 
with safe screen current.  If it's anything like the National amp, it's a 
very simple and smooth process.
