[Amps] Time to back up- SS and autotune

[Steve Thompson]

I believe, in transmitters of this type, that the modules aren't 
combined in the same way we're used to in the likes of Quadra, 
PW-1 or SPE type amps - in the AM txs I think it's more like the 
module outputs are connected in series akin to stacking PSUs to 
get a higher voltage.
