Good evening All,
Well, for years I was a QRP "nut" and all I had was my TR-4CW. I tuned it up
as per the manula and then, with key down backed off the xmtr gain to QRP
levels and operated that way. I did that with CW and also SSB. How accurate
was it? I am not sure. The finals seem to hold up after all of these years.

Well there might be better ways, but I always tune for max, then reduce
the drive (xmtr gain). I think technically the tubes are not actually
perfectly tuned when you "just back off the drive" but I don't think the tubes
will care. I also think the vox setting might need some tweaking when you do
this.

Rookie tube radio guy here Hi Hi. How do I tune my TR-4 to less than
maximum power?
Thanks,
