Dick, the old National R-175 was a part of almost every amp project until
15M came along...it was hot at 21 MHz. The replacement was the R-175A but
to my knowledge no one else has continued with that concept. 
I have a NIB R-175A and you just got my interest up....got to take some
measurements but have to wait a few days.....too many priorities..too
little time.

Remind me if I forget but just got another call about my 88 yr old
mom...so may be heading to NC soon. I'll have the laptop with me also.
