Not rocket science at all, just the fact that most people don't have a
scope, and many of them do not understand how to read them or where to use
them. Get them to understand what a mask it Pete.

Don't see this as "silly" but as imperative, or something similar to it,
as vital to the amateur radio service as we move further into the 21st
century.
But, to get back to the real thread, Don, KYV, said it about as clear as
you can get it:
"Run a certain plate voltage and load the transmitter enough that plate
voltage multiplied by plate current calculates to 1000 watts. Carefully
watch the scope so that the negative modulation peaks just barely
approach
baseline, and make sure the positive peaks do not show evidence of
flat-topping. Simple laws of physics"
It's not rocket science.
