[TenTec] Omni D ....... QRP ?????

[Dave]

Ade Weiss - in His Joy of Qrp book, talks about intersecting the drive 
to the final transister in earlier Tentec rigs, like the 540 - and 
feeding the final transister from a separate power lead, using a 
variable resister -  I never did the mod, not sure if it would work on 
ssb - 
can't find my copy of book as I am still unpacking from recent move.
Maybe someone on the list could give you that info or you could 
contact Ade for a copy of the book -  I believe the principal of the 
modification would work on any of the TenTec rigs through 546, 580
