##. Just pulse tune the tube amp, then less likely to blow stuff up.
That’s real easy to do with a yaesu MK-V. Just shorten the duration of the
dots from 10..down to 4-7 range... in the menu. You can also pulse tune
via pulses into the mic jack. When all done, maybe a quick cxr to take some
steady state grid current + plate current readings. Log all the pre-sets.

Ive noticed over a wide swath of amp and other forums that SS is becoming
more popular but seemingly misunderstood by most even more so than tube
amps.
The majority appear to be the newer generation of instant hams that have a
problem understanding how to tune a tube amp, especially those models that
are even marginal for experienced users.
Also our rapidly aging older generation is having some problems tuning and
even concentrating on tuning and destroy things in the process. The weight
of a tube amp is another serious concern
Neither group should be let inside a tube amp without training or assistance
for their own good.
