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.

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
