[Amps] Kenwood TL-922A on 17 meters

[Hardy Landskov]

Be very careful when trying to use standard amps that were not designed for 
WARC bands. The plate choke is series resonant around 18 MHz in many amps.
I'm not sure the TL-922 configuration but you may apply 18 MHz energy and 
the amp will make a noise like a cherry bomb just went off. And you know 
what that means.......
