- Why effectively lower your modulation level in order to set your power? That's not so good. That's why some folks have such poor audio. They back their audio off to control their power. IMHO, the PA

- Someone suggested this belongs on Tower Talk - NOT! It's an amplifier related question. If you have a high SWR, your power meter WILL very likely read higher power than would be read under a "normal"

- The SWR should remain the same no matter what you do to the tuning of the amp. If the SWR changes with power, then you do have a problem with the coax. What kind of coax are you using? I hope RG-8 or

- Yes. Adjusting the load control on the amp effectively tunes the tank of the amp to somewhat match the impedance seen on the transmission line. However, in terms of an SWR meter and a 50 Ohm system,
