If the amp Tunes and Loads without reaching the control limits the only
difference will be in the tank Q which may impact efficiency a bit.
The only way to be sure is to ask around on various forums for someone to
take measurements of the plate line.
The input circuit is adjustable if needed.

Subject: [Amps] Henry 3002 help
Gentlemen:
I cannot recall if I had sought advice regarding this very nice high power
8877 VHF console, so here goes.
I picked it up some time ago as a project because the price and condition
were excellent. Interestingly, it was set up by Henry as a paging
amplifier on 151.995.
My research has indicated that the output section appears to be the same
as the 144 mhz version. I have seen 900 watts out with 35 watts input on
146 mhz. Although the input SWR seems to be good also, I would like to
verify proper input/output resonsance with an SWR analyzer fed into the RF
deck with out voltage applied of course.
Since it was set up as a paging amp outside of the 2 meter band, there was
no low pass output filter to be had with it. I have the schematic for that
along with pics when the time comes.
Any advice to guide me on insuring proper input/output resonance would be
appreciated.
Offlist replies are welcome also.
