Why does the FL-2100z manual tell you to start the tune cycle with the load
cap fully meshed?
Then dip the Ip (@ 0.2A), followed by alternate Plate / Load movements to
peak the output.
Then the same at full output.

I would guess I have answered my own question - the approximate Plate / Load
settings are determined at low power (hence less Grid over-current when
tuning at high power)
