I do not believe that the FL-2100B originally was designed to operate on WARC 
bands.  It's possible that the choke had a resonance near 17 or 12 meters and 
was burned when the owner attempted to operate on that band.  I think this is a 
more likely cause of choke damage than a VHF parasitic oscillation.
