Hi all, I need instruction on tuning of the slugs at the back of the amp. The manual says nothing on this. I ask because I get a higher swr on 10 meter when amp is on and want it tuned in.

If your rig has a built in vswr indication you can use it instead of the external VSWR meter, but verify the rig meter reading using an external to make sure it is some what accurate.
I don't see the tool listed on Ameritron's website, but you might give them a call or email and see what they recommend.
Or, Google alignment tools electronic
...you'll find a bunch. As I said, I believe the size you need is a hexagonal tool, 0.1" across the flats (which would be 2.54mm - and 2.50mm should work nicely). I know I have three or four of them scattered around but I only know where ONE of them is.
Yes, you should be able to use a dummy load on any band.
