Should have no bearing if he tunes for max Pout. The tune C has a large
safety factor.

ditto

This does not seem likely to cause Tune C arcing.

Very seldom seen with the type of parasitic oscillation that tends to
cause intermittent Tune C or bandswitch arcing. I have seen only one.

Indeed, Ed, indeed. If somebody gets nauseated by what I write, why does
