[kc9cdt at aol.com]

It'a always goof for all of us...even the experienced to be reminded of 
the safetly issues woring on the old stuff.
Even more important when working on TX and Amps.
THANKS

Pay careful attention to the MANUAL!

AC is read with a 1000 Ohm/Volt meter!  DC is read with a VTVM!

There is a BIG difference.

The B+ is 280VDC.  It will bite you worse than 120/240 VAC!  DC WILL
cause the muscle(s) to clamp down.  If you get it in the palm, and are
grounded, you will NOT be able to let go!

This is different than AC.
