That was my rationale and why I ended up with the flat filter intake. It wasn't too difficult to break the welds between the flaring cage and the top rail, and just install the top rail into the transmitter. Thanks for the descriptions of the mods you've made to the transmitter. Some of them I'd already done, such as rigging the fans to run in series on 115 VAC for reduced noise. I need to deal with those noisy contactors too. There is either some dirt in there stopping the solenoids from bottoming out, or they are not made right and need to be changed to DC. In all the many broadcast transmitters I've worked on over the years these little guys are the loudest I've heard. I was figuring a way to key my Gates on CW too... I thought I could arrange a relay to short out a resistor in the bias line to the PA, so that the tubes were cut off when the key was up. But I haven't gone much further than idle speculation.
