[Amps] Clipperton-L parasitic suppressors

I may have tried it WARC bands at some point but that would have been long 
ago. I do not
currently have any WARC band antennas. My Clipperton-L also has an added 
tuned input
board which does not include WARC bands and would make it difficult to 
operate. The tuned
input board was added after any WARC band trial. My TS940 didn't mind the 
untuned input
but when it died I switched to a TS2000 which was much happier with the 
tuned input.
