That's what I figured - and what I have tried, today.  It seems to be the  
"working" way.

Correct.  About 1000 Watts out SSB PEP, 850 Watts output on CW.

It is supposed to have been modified for 10 meters.  Seems to work.

I now am trying to determine how to tune the WARC bands, and MARS  
frequencies, which are outside of the "band switch" ranges.
