[Johnson] valiant bias settings

[Larry Knapp]

Larry - I agree with you about "range"...and I understand about different
modes...the bulletin, I referred to, does not say anthing about SSB...in it, it
does mention AM (for modulator bias) but in the differences for the final bias,
it does not state any specific "mode".  AM is mentioned but only in context to
modulator bias.  In the manual, the setting of -70V is on page 8 and the mode
used is CW.
