DX-60B Questions

[Mark S Graalman]

  On my DX60B after loading to 150 ma in the CW
mode switching to the AM mode will result in a
"no-modulation" plate current of 50 ma. during
modulation the plate meter will "kick" to about
70-75 ma under hard voice peaks, the peak
power output is about 45-50 watts.
