uhhh...I wan't pissing at you.
wondered if yours was AC (like mine) or DC powered.
meter is fluff. know a guy that has one exactly like mine but has no meter. thought that and/or power source might be a difference.
but now I don't really give a rat's ass.
hope you find your solution straightaway.

Staybolt I didn't see him starting anything with you. He posted a pic of the one he has, is that like yours? Does your amp have the same SSB switch? If so it should work fine. Maybe there is an issue with your amp or maybe you were overdriving it. Maybe your power supply in the amp is getting week and on SSB it causes warble or other problems. That amplifier might already be biased for SSB use.
Ralph is definitely not the type to start a pissing contest with anyone on here...just sayin'.

Um no. I know how to drive these amps and TRUST ME I wasnt overdriving it one bit.This is actually another thing I was thinking before being distracted
Okey dokey.uhhh...I wan't pissing at you.

Yeah but it's all 100% up to my tech. He might not want to do it because it's not a 20 min job. Hes very picky about doing much beyond peak and tunes and much else
4 watts on am. Idk about ssb. It's just a class c biased shit box like the grey 300 I had...
I don't have any experience with this model amp, but I would imagine that the drive requirements are exceptionally low for a pair of 455s. And I'd also guess the higher you go the less linear it will be and the worse it will sound (with little in return).
Staybolt,
the answer to your question is yes.
check it out here: https://www.qsl.net/va3iul/Bias/Bias_Circuits_for_RF_Devices.pdf
i would try to offer more specifics, but i don't want to draw the ire of someone who more often than not, ends up in some sort of confrontation when they ask for help.
you might want to check yourself bro.
