I once had a Henry 2K-3 in which I installed Mr. Measures' suppressor kit.
I thought I was doing a good thing. The first time I put it on 15 meters
several of the resistors exploded much as a shotgun shell would do. I
promptly went back to the Henry factory suppressors and never had another
problem, nor did I have a problem prior to that. For some stupid reason I
was convinced that that bit of nichrome was going to save me from eminent
disaster. In my 25 years of hamming, never have I experienced a parasitic
with my Henry 2K-3 (2x3-500z's), My AL1200 (3cx1200A7), or my Henry 3K
Classic X (8877).
This suppressor kit thing reminds me of the travelling salesman selling cure
all elixir out of the back of his wagon. "Guaranteed to cure your gold
sputtered meatballs...."
