Dear AMPers:

What is the best method to put an Alpha 78 on 17 Meters?

This model of Alpha normally doesn't require tuning in the conventional 
sense on 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 because of its broadband ("bandpass") output 
stage. However, one can switch to a conventional tuning mode, if desired.

Neither the conventional tuning method or the bandpass setup for 20 or 15 
meters produces any output on 17 meters.

The amp works perfectly in every respect. Before I go adjusting the input 
stages or making any other changes, I thought I would test the waters to 
see if any of you have experience in this area and might be able to share a 
technique that works well.

Thanks.
