Help? SB-101 keeps tripping into XMIT

[Lazaro Munoz]

Hello all,

I was having that problem (reported here), however I may have been
seems over-driving the plate current.  Read the tuning guide on page
141 and keep the meter under 40 (corresponding to 250ma) anything
higher tends to pick up stray RF (even from receive) and kicks in the
PA.  So far the problem seems to not happen if I keep below that
level.  I will update the list if returns while staying within these
guidelines.

Good luck,
