I'm wondering if I use manual tuning, by keying the radio on packet, AM or CW and not going to lower power, what would be the danger to tune into a mismatch until the tuner matches the rig to antenna?
If you use AM for tuning, the carrier is reduced to 1.5 W or less no matter what power level you have the radio set for. It gives you a reduced power signal for tuning without having to press any buttons except the mode button.
