I got my KL40 amp today and I want to test it out on my uniden/president grant (version with push buttons). I am afraid that the radio will burn out the amp even though the radio is putting out stock power. How can I turn down the output wattage of the radio? What is the recommended wattage to drive these little amps? |

814,
Is this the Grant with the 4 buttons in the middle of the radio under the S-Meter and Channel indicator? Six knobs on the left hand side? If so here's the tweaks...
AM Power VR-11
SSB Power VR-8
MOD VR-12
Run the KL-40 with no more than a 2 watt dead key. Actually at 1 1/2 watts it should have a 16 watt output and swing to around 40+

VR11 didn't seem to have any effect on the AM output. VR8 did bring down the SSB though. I wasn't able to locate VR12. But then again,I cut the modulation resistor a while ago, so I don't think VR12 would have any effect anyways. |

VR-11 SHOULD RAISE AND LOWER YOUR DEAD KEY |
