You should be able to run the rf power at full gain on ssb and still not produce any watts until you modulate correct. If this is the case then how can you hurt your amp by running the rf power at max on ssb as there is no carrier or dead key watts on ssb correct?? I am asking here as well. Like I posted earlier I know with my radio that on ssb you turn the rf power to max and use the mic gain to control the amount of modulation. I use a magnum 257hp and run a magna force 350hd amp. I run my rf power at max on ssb and use the mic gain with my watt meter as reference to the carrier. Turning the mic gain down keeps the carrier level at or near zero watts until I talk (modulate). I could be way off base here and totally wrong, just posting my experience. Good luck and hope you get it resolved.
