[Amps] TenTec Centurion - 422 tuning question

[Carl]

Actually Ten Tec has the better idea for those operators not used to the 
other way. With 0 being minimum C and 10 the max you dont have inverted 
logic when trying to figure out which way to turn the Load control at 3AM 
during a contest.

I never could understand why increased loading went with a higher number 
when less C on the Tune cap is the opposite. And without a standard there is 
always the chance for error and damage.

Yes, I understand that the higher number is supposed to convey higher 
loading and trying to tell a new user that higher means less might result in 
glassy eyes and brain fades.
