Actually, it reads 125ma for 75W input.

The recheck and set grid drive.

This is a WHOLLY different animal than a Plate Modulated AM rig for RTTY use. That is what the Apache TX-1 is.

Screen modulation is a horse of a different color.

Not to mention that Novices did NOT have AM privileges.

The Heath instructions for the DX-60 specifically state that for Novice
operation to only increase the loading to 100ma for Novice operation (75W)
or to 150ma for normal (full power) operation.

Bob,

I'm NOT Pete.  He may feel insulted.  LOL

You're using a PI network, NOT a link tuned system.  If you reduce
loading, AND maintain plate dip, You will indeed reduse output AND go
NON-RESONANT.

This opens a whole other can of worms.

No Pete,

I am saying to reduce the load capacitor and maintain the dip on the
plate
capacitor.

It's the same as reducing the coupling on a link coupled final.

Bob,

While the plate transformer may well handle that, you are tuning off
resonance of the PI network.  That results in tuning off the Plate dip.
I would NOT imagine that this concept would do the 6146s any good at
all.
I would suspect that a reduction of Drive would be wiser.

Can't you just run at reduced input by reducing the loading? Then run

the

tube(s) at the CCS rating. The power transformer should take that.

George,

Good question!  There is NO mention of RTTY operation ANYWHERE in the
Apache Manual.

I'm also not sure how you can safely reduce the power out put
following
the tuning procedures, WITHOUT doing some damage to some components.

It does just fine on AM and CW.  Mixed results on SSB with the SB-10.
