Asked,
"Should you always tune a tuned input for maximum grid current ??
Assuming the SWR on the line is less than 2 to 1 ?? Could you not also
tune for maximum plate current ??"
Thanks.....73

Ed,
I have always simply adjusted the tuned input for minimum input SWR, =
ordinarily using the built in SWR meter in the transceiver. Start with =
low power; end up using nearly full power. A pulser such as an =
electronic keyer's string of dots works great. Of course the PA tank =
must be properly adjusted at same time.
