A 100 watt 50ohm dummy load from DNJ radio is less than $30. Save your money and stop trying to mess with something you don't have the proper equipment to do.  You need a power/swr meter that is a bit better at reading PEP power is what is seems like reading your posts.  Ask for these items for Christmas if you are that into the hobby.  Or get rid of some other stuff you don't use to fund this hobby.  But it's been said before I and I will state it again, without the proper equipment that is known to work, you won't be able to tune your radio or amp correctly.  You are either going to fry the amp or may have already as stated by other members as well due to the high dead key you kept keying the amp with before being told it wasn't right.  These little amps like the one you have, are throw away amps basically.  If you have burnt something up in the amp you might as well trash it or use it as a door stop!!  You were offered a working amp that was of better quality and you chose not to get it due to your scheming like attitude about asking mommy if you could semd your amp out for one that is a better model and made for SSB use as well. And it actually works. 

All that aside you need to stop at this point and remove the amp from the system and DONT KEEP using it!!  Further damage may be incurred if you do so be forewarned.  Many good people spent time trying to help you and if you won't listen to the first things being said to you, why in the Heck would anyone else want to help you??

You obviously don't have a clue about what you're doing and it shows.  Sorry to be so blunt and harsh with some of my words, but you were told what to do to properly test your amp and what you need to do so.  Now unless you've gotten a dummy load and a power/swr meter that will at least give some pep readings or close to them, you are just wasting a lot of people's time and efforts!! 

That said, get your shizz together and when you do, maybe more help will be given then.  For now you're just pissin in the wind and you've given some bad impressions about your character to a few of the forum members here that are well respected people!!  So good luck with whatever you're trying to achieve.  You really need to just stop at this point and place the amp to the side for now until you have a dummy load and a watt meter that will read pep as well as just dead key.  If you look around on eBay I bet for under $50 you could find an swr/power meter and a 50-100 watt 50ohm dummy load.  And we know you're young and don't have money but Christmas is just a couple weeks away, ask everyone for money and use a bit for your radio hobby.  If not then like I said you might as well call it a day and remove the amp and use it as a door stop!!  Have a good day young man.
