Good news, Carl. The unresolved problem has already been solved by the
modest Mr. Rauch. The energy gets to the switch because C-tune has a VHF
resonance slightly above the parasitic freq.. For example, the SB-1000
and AL-80 occasionally oscillate at c.155MHz and crispy-critter open
contacts. This is possible because the Tune-C has a resonance c.
170MHz. Congrats, Tom. .
