Hi Bob,
I'm curious about what mode you are operating where you drive the amp to get
275 watts out. I'm guessing it must be either cw or AM with a carrier?
anyway, as Jerry said, just tune it for max output--I find the LED bar real
handy for this, and I also suggest forgetting about the tune button and
instead, put the exciter on cw and tune for max output while giving the amp
about 30-50 watts of dahs from the exciter. if you want to really fine tune
it (the tune cap -- load isn't as touchy) give it a few single widely spaced
dahs to touch it up. you can't do it this way with an electromechanical
meter--it's not fast enough but the leds work great.
73,
