[Kenwood] TL 922A Tune Up

[Jim Plummer]

I picked up a TL 922A at Dayton. This is my first amplifier in 44 years of hamming. It seems to be clean and working properly. My issue is with the tune up process. The manual is a bit ambiguous.

In the CW mode of the manual, Step 6 of the procedure states: "Quickly switch the amplifier to lp and dip the plate". There is no "lp" meter position. There is the IP meter, however that appears to be reading plate current all the time. 

My thought is to leave the meter in the RF position to dip the plate and adjusting for maximum output.  What is the correct procedure?

I would also be interested in dos and don’ts for this amp.
