This is bad advice.

The SB220 should ALWAYS be started in the CW position to limit inrush 
current.  NEVER start the SB220 in the SSB position, as it puts too much 
strain on components.

The best idea yet was to take the pot, remove it, and replace it with a pull 
on / push off / potentiometer.  This will allow you to still adjust the 
sensitivity of the meter  as well as give you an operate standby switch, AND 
keep the amp looking stock.


Hope this helps.
