[Hammarlund] HX 50 transformer

[Robert Sauvan]

This is what I was hoping to hear. I was pretty sure I was ok on all of 
my questions. Had an email into Heyboer as well but just didnt want to 
waste the whole weekend waiting for my answers. I will proceed with the 
install and see how this HX-50 will work now. Hopefully the chirp I was 
experiencing before the old transformer blew, will now be gone.

Thanks-Bob-W0YBS
