I know that this subject has been visited a few times but how exactly should
you tune a large tetrode amplifier. Adjust the loading to get the correct
value of screen current, then peak the screen current with  the tune C and
back off the drive so that the recommended screen current is restored. Is
that about it? I have been running triodes for a long while now. I would
appreciate a step by step approach.
