[1000mp] Source for Precision Resistors?

[Mort Arditti]

Rich,

Several years ago, QST had an article on this subject. Sorry I do not
recall the date or details.

As far as the precision resistors, DigiKey and Mouser both offer 1%
resistors. I think minimum buy is 5 or 10 resistors per value.

I hope this helps.

73,

Mort, KB6BSN
