I was wondering if the variable RF power control setting on the front of a Galaxy DX-979 can be used to set the dead key power output for use with an amp?

YES, but, if you accidently forget to
turn it down or the knob gets bumped..
POOF could go your amp!

Cool, so that takes care of that issue. I was thinking of building a power switch to cut it by half, but thin I noticed it had the RF control. I guess the switch would be more full proof, but I will only be using the amp when im out in the desert. Otherwise I run stock in town.
Thanks for the info  |

Just be careful also that your radio doesn't
have to much swing to it. That could also
hurt a 1-4 watt input amp. |

Stupid question but....didn't know the 979 had variable power? Thought that was a standard CB type accepted and not 10 meter?
Your not talking about RF "gain" are you?
Again..sorry for the question but IS an IMPORTANT difference!
