Dobro in A string gauges ?

John Sluszny · From: Brussels, Belgium

I'd like to tune one of my square neck resonator guitars in A (A C# E A C# E) instead of G (G B D G B D)
I use D'Addario EJ 42 strings.

What string gauges should I use to get the same string tension on the guitar tuned up in A ?
Thanks !

Check out D'Addario's string tension calculator: stringtensionpro.com

It suggests the following D'Addario phosphor bronze custom set for A tuning to match tensions on EJ42's
