?   I have heard of no instability probs with the ''high power mod''.  
However, the max. rated screen potential for a 6146B is 250v.  A stock 
TS-830s operates the screens at c. 260v max. on SSB and slightly less on 
CW.  The ''high power mod''. increases the screen potential, which 
sometimes results in kaputsville screen-arcing.  .As I understand it, the 
''high power mod'' is popular with CBers.   P out apparently increases 
about 30w, unless the screens arc.   
-  good luck, Pino
