No, NOT everyone is saying this. Always use CW mode when powering up and during initial tune up when changing bands. After that, do final tuning to the maximum power level that you expect to operate. Note that some advise to always tune up to the full 1200-ish watts output to mitigate possible "accidents" that can be damaging to the amp.

Let me? make sure I have this correct. I have two L7's and one L4B. Am I right that everyone is stating to tune these amps in the SSB position and just leave the amp in the SSB position all the time?
Also what about running digital modes I use the tune position for that but perhaps I should be using the SSB position. Please advise on both situations and many thanks.

That is a particularly nice implementation. I'll do this when I get my L7 out of service.
Great writeup too.
