It always says that on web but would start with low dead key and work your way up with radio checks. Generally the lower the deadkey the better the audio, but it can swing up to higher watts. Deadkey is just key up with mic gain all the way down no modulation. Once the deadkey is adjusted hopefully can still whistle into mic and go from say 2 watts to 18 watts and let box do the rest and you audio should be awesome. But again use the 2 watt as a starting point and raise up 1 watt at a time and get audio check on loudness and clarity till you reach a sweet spot. Again might have to have a swing kit installed if when dial down to 2 watts and won't swing to the 18 watt point. Sometimes when lower deadkey it will in turn lower your total swing also, that is the purpose of the swing kit. For example my radio the RF Power only adjust the deakey 0-6 watts, I am always swing the same on total watts, but had to be modified for that, and also same swing on SSB if you talk there.
