Hi Kouichi,

Correct.

> However,  need to tune and load properly

Correct. Don't expect it to tune control to be near the expected frequency 
legend on the front panel.

It will be very helpful to have power meters/SWR meters in both the input and 
output lines.

Start by setting the load control to maximum capacitance. Apply, say, about 10 
watts of drive and rotate the tune control for dip in anode current/peak in 
power output  on the external power meter. Adjust loading for maximum power 
output. Slowly increase drive at the same time adjusting the tune and load 
controls for maximum power out at each level of drive, and repeat the procedure 
up to 100 watts of drive.

Correct.

Hello David,
To summarize your explanation
1) On 12m, set the band switch to 10m
2) On 17m, set the band switch to 15m
3) On 30m, set the band switch to 20m
However,  need to tune and load properly
You did not make any modifications to the SB220.

Is this correct?

Thank you replay
