Dentron GLA-1000 on WARC?
 

Has anyone converted one of these amps to a WARC band operation (eg.,
17 meters?)

Since the amp has coils taped for both 20 and 15 meters, is there any
risk to setting the band selector to the 15 meter tap and tuning it for
maximum output on 17 meters?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Chuck

If you do this (at low power, of course), does it tune up, or does the
control get all the way to the end before you find a peak? If you can
tune it up, there should be no problem, but you may not be able to.

Aren't there power limits on the WARC bands? Or is it just on 30 m,
because it is a shared band (Amateur secondary)?
