The PLT ICRF heating program is exploring the stability, confinement and heating properties of ICRF as applied to the PLT plasma. In the deuterium majority, /sup 3/He minority mode a T/sub d/ = 5 keV, n-bar/sub e/ = 3.7 x 10/sup 13/ cm/sup -3/, E>100 kJ plasma has been obtained with the application of 4.25 MW of coupled ICRF power. In the deuterium majority, hydrogen minority regime direct second harmonic majority heating has been observed. Optimization studies including pellet injection are underway. Experiments with direct ion Bernstein wave (IBW) heating in both the minority heating regime and single ion regime are underway.
