Thanks  for the replies.  I, too, at first thought it  would involve a  
padder
in the output tank circuit.   Something I should have out in my  first post:
there are no padders in  the output circuit.  The schematic  I have shows an
output  circuit that is a Pi network (the inductance is an  air core coil  
in
series with a toroid inductor) into a   toroid   transformer (I am guessing 
it
transforms about 200 ohms down to  50  ohms).



#### Yes, All the Command tech HF amps and even the 6 meter ones have a 200 
 ohm Pi net followed by a 4 to 1 transformer.  This eliminates all the  
switching and padding of both load and tune.  It does work, but it is not a  
design used by most amp Mfgers.
