One observation, when I was adjusting low power dead key ( mic gain was down ) with RF Power all the way turned to bare min on the knob. I noticed the wattmeter needle would for example register at 10W but when I released the mic key the meter momentarily jumped to around 15W. Only did this behaviour when I was adjusting the low power VR19 .

Thanks for the meter tip, I increased it a little so no it looks "better" with more movement. I just used the meter pot to make the display show more bars whilst modulating.


Also another observation, the side of the radio was getting hotter than the actual amp section (could feel it since cover was off), with side I am refering to the side where the board is, the area where those finals  are attached to the chasis of the case, suprisingly the frame feels hotter here than the amp.
