               I have a TS-520S which has been a good rig for me,  but
          there  is  one  thing  about  it that I have always wondered
          about.  The carrier level control is scaled from  0  to  10,
          but  to  obtain the correct plate current level, the control
          is always set to about 1.  Since the useful  range  of  this
          control is so limited, it is very touchy.  Is this a charac-
          teristic of all TS-520S's, or should I look for some problem
          with  mine?   If this is common to all, why design a control
          like this?

               I have been tempted to make a change in the rig, but it
          has  performed  perfectly since I got it used a year ago.  I
          would like to be sure there is not some reason  the  control
          is like this before I risk messing up a good thing.

                                       Thanks,
                                       Robert Neece  N4JEO
