[Hallicrafters] RMA Dummy Antenna

[Chuck McGregor]

Jon-
Yes, your schematic is correct as typed.  The series R-C pair is in parallel with the inductor.

A useful reference on this subject is the chapter on  Receiver and Amplifier Tests and Measurements, in the big red Radiotron Designer's Handbook by Langford-Smith.
