Garey, I know we need to leave all the finals in on a TR-4 because of the series parallel filaments, but could one leave the plate caps off one or two tubes to cut the power output instead of using a power reducing network ? Boyd W0BUW Garey Barrell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Garey Barrell m

The FS-4 does inject a bit of noise to the R-4_ receiver as well. So aux crystals are not only cheaper but also quieter. 73 Lee WB6SSW ** See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop000304)
