Cure.


With no blocking diodes (power diodes), the zeners in parallel 
will look like normal pn diodes across the load.  I think Dave is 
trying to clip at some higher voltage th .7 volts?

That's correct, Don.  Arden's idea is a good one-
connecting the Zeners cathode-to-cathode *should*
work just like the circuit with the steering power
diodes.  But it doesn't.  Not a bit.  Speaker still
pops with keying.  I have no idea why what I drew
works and what Arden suggests doesn't.
Makes no sense to me.  I just stuck with what worked.
