[Elecraft] K2 and HW-101? Swamping Resistor

[Lee Buller]

Vic has a good idea....which I was thinking about trying.  Place a 50 ohm 
10 watt non-inductive swamping resistor from the grid connection to 
ground.  You should have a blocking capacitor in there also.  As long as it 
is AB1, I think you could get away with it.  If I am not mistaken, the 
HW101 as did all those rigs...run at AB1 or was it AB2 to get a little more 
power output?  The other thing I would do is  to place a small MFJ tuner 
before the amp...but I doubt you would need it.

The resistor has to be non-inductive...carbon composite.  I wonder if 
anyone out there has a HW100 or HW101 who would like to 
experiment????  Yes, I think you could do that with a 807, or 813 as well.

The only difficult things these days is to get the HV.  That is where the 
Heath gear would be good if you could get one of those shoe-box power 
supplies as well.
