Yes, you know, you are absolutely correct, Rich. I looked at the
caption below that linear at the KH7R Vacation site, and there is
no A, nor, for that matter a D. However, the tube on the right in
the photo looked, to me anyway, as if it had a handle. I have
ALWAYS wanted to see a tetrode with handles, never mind
realizing the dream of operating a rig in which one was
contained!

PS. You have to realize that those of us stuck out here on these
isolated Pacific islands sometimes have to create some fun
for ourselves; something besides drinking rum from our
home sugar cane stills!
