There is no such thing as a ''normal'' AG6K suppressor.  Suppressors for 
8877s and 4-1000As require an L-supp of c. 40nH.  Suppressors for 3-500Zs 
- that use c. 2700v, use c. 90nH, and  Suppressors for a 4000v supply use 
c. 60nH.  Suppressors for 811As use c. 120nH.  To aid making a 
comparison, Wes constructed the AG6K suppressor so that it had an 
inductance simiar to the AL-80 suppressor.
