Thanks all for the valuable comments. A somewhat related question. A few
years ago I bought a glitch resistor, from a person no longer on this
reflector, who said I should substitute it for the small RF choke in the +B
line of my SB-220 before the main RF choke. I did so -- it was a very
convenient fit -- and a few days later lost the meter multiplier resistors
on the Harbach diode board, in a burn-up event that seemed to be related to
something odd occurring at RF on 80 meters. It was, if I recall correctly,
the first time I'd had the amp on 80 since adding the glitch R.
I thought that perhaps removing the RF choke allowed RF into the metering
circuit in some way, so I put it back in. Was this a good hypothesis, or???
