[Amps] tank calculations - MFJ analizer - resistor

[Gary Schafer]

Yes leave the tube in!  You want the capacitance of the tube in the circuit
as well as all the other components that are normally in the circuit.
Just put the resistor from plate to ground in a short path. Just wedging it
in a convenient spot works well. Do nothing else!
