[ARC5] Question about BC-696 TX

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Tom,

The parasitic suppressors ( RL-51 and RL-52) each consist of a 51 ohm 1/2 
watt insulated carbon composition resistor wound with 9 turns of #32 AWG enameled 
copper wire.  

According to the parts list in T.O. 08-10-50, the P.A. Tank Coil tuning slug 
assembly is the same in all four transmitters.  You just need to find someone 
with a junker transmitter willing to remove one and send it to you at a 
reasonable price.  Junker transmitters are unfortunately far more common than good 
ones.  :-(   I have a few NOS tank coils (and a BUNCH of junker transmitters).  
I think that the coils are for the BC-458 or T-21 but the parts that you need 
are the same.
