Tuning to the left of the center would lead to the opposite: less gain and more power attainable. Of course,
this requires more drive power, more plate current, and more plate heat, which shortens tube's-expected
life, as its cathode would be faster exhausted.
You might use the off-center tuning hint also to compensate for mains voltage variations in order to
maintain tube efficiency: tune to the right when mains is higher, or tune to the left if it's lower than the
nominal voltage. Please see (see section
nominal.

You can use them to monitor the technical state of the amplifier and the associated parameters in
digital form.
Selection is made by the PREV and NEXT buttons. You may change them in a closed loop, while
the amplifier is used and controlled in operate and standby modes, changes transmit and receive,
without any influence by the measurement process.
b) You can control Auto-Operate feature selection also while ON LINE. The method is the same
as it is described for OFF LINE (see Sections
