on AM, adjust radio output til amp shows about 40-50 watts carrier. turn mic gain up til you see 150-160 watts PEP. same for SSB, turn mic gain up til PEP is about 160. you CAN get more out, but amp will self destruct sooner rather then later.
the high drive texas star amps many times show the same output with 'high' drive as well as 'low' drive, they were just built to absorb a bit more abuse while providing the same output. |

I would, 10 watts deadkey is much to high of input for the Killer Bee. About 2 watts max.
Like Pat00 explained, adjust your mic gain until you get around 160 watts pep from the amp. A 40 watt swing into the Killer Bee will get things a bit toasty in a hurry.
