Why be concerned about whether or not each and every transceiver adds a static bleed resistor across the antenna, just bite the bullet and add one to each feedline coming into the shack and forget the "tooth-mashing" that comes about wondering where it should be done. I for one feel that it is best done at the antenna feedline rather than relying on the transceiver - that way I can connect the antennas to any transceiver with no problem. If you do not have a convenient access point to your feedline center conductor, enter the TEE adapter. solder the resistor into a PL-259 body, and plug it into one side of the TEE adapter - leave it there for all eternity.
