Hi Wayne, There a reason for concern for eliminating the choke in the antenna circuit. I noticed that there is no DC path to ground to eliminate the chance of static potenital build up on an antenna from discharging a high voltage into the rig. This may be the reason why some builders have experienced blown detection diodes in some ATU's etc.
I think that is a good practice to install a 47K 1/2W carbon resistor across the antenna terminals to act as a bleeder resistor when there is a capacitive coupled output. 73, Bob Johansen WB2SRF _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
