I only mentioned the yellow band because of reliability. Seems like the original resistor was 220 ohms and the one that actually met the required NF was 330 (or the other way around). So, it was not the yellow band that had to be changed. - Mike

I see no reason why the NF should be any different then one w/o the yellow band. They are the same part, only one is tested more. Not white band perchance? -John =========== > Yes, I guess it was.
