Snip> I didn't need *any* suppressor. In your case you did. It would be
beneficial if you had figured out WHY.

    John,
    That's a good point. As a member of the "design team", (I say that 
tongue in cheek), that they were installed as a preventative measure. The 
plans were copied from 'tried-and-true' designs. It would have been great to 
have access to the different network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and 
other 'hi-tech' test equipment but it simply wasn't available. I remember a 
term applied to things we could not explain with the tools at our disposal: 
PFM. Even though we firmly knew that somewhere there was a logical 
explanation.
