Yes -- and doing so will raise the threshold of circuit breaker tripping
as the power output -- and current draw -- is decreased.
The problem is frequency sensitive, however. The higher the frequency,
the more readily the breaker trips. The rig acts normally on 3.5, 7 and
10 MHz bands, but the problem appears on the bands above and is
progressive and directly proportional to the frequency. In other words,
if I lower the power output so that the breaker doesn't trip on 20
meters, it'll still trip on 15, etc. In fact, it's very frequency
sensitive. I can set the output so that the breaker stays engaged up to
-- say -- 29.5 MHz, but it'll still trip at 29.7.
Thanks and 73,
