[ICOM] Tuning 7600

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

My suggestion would be to use AM mode.

Unless somebody has messed with power settings,
this should give you an output power of around
25 Watts of carrier.
 
This would be sufficient to get good reflected
indications without putting a possible strain
on the tuner components when the reflected power
might be very high.
