good ideas.


However, one of the things Mr. Measures discovered is that the filament transformer supplied with the SB-220 has its own current limiting built in, so there is nO need for an inrush limiter.

The only thing I've had trouble with on my completely stock SB-220 was the T/R relay, which is a little slow for modern transceivers. I finally replaced it with vacuum relay QSK. AG6K (Measures') web site has a lot of good info. I don't buy his recommendations about parasitics -- my amp is unconditionally stable -- but otherwise he's pretty sound.
