[Johnson] Valiant on SSB driven by FT-817?

You also have to take into account the method of amplification the Valiant's amp is running. The SB-200 is a grounded grid unit, isn't it? I think the three 6146's is grid driven input which may restrict it's input to no more than 5 or so watts with the output around 100 or so watts. Just my input. Cal. N6KYR.

Green Pig (nickname for Heathkit amp's) operators dowm Texas way tell me with the solid state finals of
modern transmitters they put a tuner either automatic or manual between the
exciter and the amp. The Idea is no matter what happens in the amp the finals in the exciter will see the correct impedence.
