1861, WELCOME TO THE COPPER FORUM! Your dead key of 1 will work and I generally suggest a Dead Key of 2 to 2-1/2 watts. Check out the Post in the OPEN Area of the Forum here titled: CEF MEMBERSHIP & CEF NETs "DO YOU" KNOW ABOUT THEM? We always enjoy adding CEF MEMBERS to our Growing Radio Club. Lon Tech808 |

25 peak might be a bit much for that amp--mine doesn't like more than around 15 watts max to drive it to full output. |

THANKS FOR THE WELCOME -- SO YOU THINK I WOULD BE BETTER TO RAISE DK TO 2 AND LOWER PEP TO ABOUT 15? SHOULD I LOWER SSB ALSO ? IT IS BETWEEN 25 - 30 |
