[Amps] Pulse tuning

[DF3KV]

Agreed.
If one needs pulse tuning not to blow up his amp, he undersized components.

REPLY:

And what is the duty cycle for SSB?  50%?  60%?  85%?  The problem is
you can't know because it all depends on your voice characteristics and
how loud you talk at a particular moment. 

By tuning up at 100% those questions become irrelevant and your amp is
happy.
