I dont think it was a mistake as many were sold new to CBers back when a ham
license didnt have to be shown.
To manufacturers the bottom line was the bottom line.

I know it has been reported on this reflector that some old amps made the
mistake (in retrospect) of parking the resonance of the plate RFC at 24
MHz. The Ameritron RFC substitution seems like a good idea, just to be
safe.

I am no expert on this. I have a Dentron Clipperton-L that I had applied
the 10M fix to it years ago. But I fried the parasitic suppressors when
working WARC bands. At the suggestion of several on the group I changed
the RFC over to an Ameritron RFC and suppressor assembly and that fixed
the problems. Apparently the original Dentron RFC was not very effective
on the WARC bands. Not sure that applies to the DTR-2000.

Please anyone can tell me the factors to consider, including burning tank
components, when operating old linear amplifiers on the WARC bands,
especially 12 meters.
Alpha 76 PAC meaning the 3 tube version.
TenTec Titan One
Dentron DTR-2000
ICOM IC-2KL
All these amps have factory-type conversions to TEN meters already done.
The Alpha has the swamping input taken out. Other than that, all amps
are stock.
Thanks for all specific info... 73,
Charles Harpole
