"That is because at lower power, the output impedance of the PA will be different."

Since SSB is all about audio (no audio, no power) and the average power is about 40% of peak, what happens to the output impedance every time you speak into the microphone? Power is going to follow the audio and would be all over the place, from zero to peak power. How is this any different?

Many recommend tuning at a lower power. This risky as well. That is because at lower power, the output impedance of the PA will be different. Once you are tuned at QRP level, increasing the power will result in a mismatch again!?
