The Drive Control is used for tuning the Driver tube.

DO NOT TRANSMIT FOR MORE THEN 20 TO 30 SECONDS AT A TIME WHILE TUNING YOU WILL SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE TUBES.

Set the Drive ,Tune and Load at the 12 o'clock position.
Press the mic button and Quickly adjust the Tune Control for maximum reading on the meter now adjust the Load Control for maximum reading.
You will have to adjust the Tune and Load controls several times until maximum reading is obtained. After the Tune and Load are tuned for maximum output take the Drive Control and adjust for maximum output.
The amplifier is now tuned for SSB. For AM operation the tank circuit will have to be Overcoupled or the audio will sound distorted.
To Overcouple take the Load Control and turn 1/4 inch clockwise.
That's it.
