Hi All
I have a Lincoln radio and would like to use a zetagi B300P amp, to help with my dxing..do not wat to over load the amp, is there a way of reducing the power input from my radio into the amp to about 5 to 6 watts, the only way I can see is the turn the RF gain down and check using a SWG meter..
Thank you for any help on this..
Cheers

RF gain is nothing to do with power. You might want to turn the middle knob RF-PWR down.

The power on the Lincoln model 1, is 'RF Power' top right dial. Use that, with a power meter in between the radio & amp.
On FM do not use anymore than 10w and no more than 20w on SSB or you run the risk of blowing the B300P.

As above for the mk1 I thought yours was the mk2 as in your profile. Have both and a 2510 sat on the shelf here.
