[Amps] HA-10 Warrior "Neutralizing Capacitor"

[rlm]

***   As I understand it, the RCA g-g neutralizing circuit reduced 
feedback at the operating frequency.  The problem was/is that an 811A in 
g-g configuration is unconditionally stable at HF.   The sticky wicket is 
that the HF neutralizing circuit provides a semi in-phase feedback path 
at VHF at the same time it provides an out-of phase feedback path at HF.  
Needless to say, in-phase feedback is essential for oscillation.  //   
Perhaps the problem was that the RCA engineer who came up with this 
ill-reasoned circuit did not realize that schematic diagrams do not show 
all of the tuned circuits that the amplifier builder must deal with.    
Of these, the natural VHF resonance in the anode circuit seems to be the 
most problematic.
