Pete - I wholeheartedly agree, EXCEPT that MANY RTTY transmissions are are images. Those CAN be very long - way beyond "old buzzard transmissions". Hence my surmise that reducing drive would be the wisest method.

Why would RTTY operation be any different then AM operation? And with
rigs like the Viking II, DX-100, Apache, etc., you can probably key down
for many many minutes. i.e. "old buzzard transmission" which are quite
common.

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.
