The problem with reducing the B+ is the max PEP goes with it. You'll
want to preserve that for positive modulation peaks. As Gary Schafer
sez you want to keep the driver PEP up to where the amp needs it for
full output, as long as the plate dissipation is not exceeded during
dead carrier. Better to keep the plate hi and pull back the screen V.
I don't think that's what happens.

That's a great read. Everyone -should- read that.
