[Heathkit] HN-31 Cantenna

[R.J. Keller]

I actually do know it is for RF. Pray tell, what else?

What is an AC resistor? I do not understand what you mean by "if you
want to use it as a DC resistor, just remember the difference" ?

| The purpose of it is for RF.
| If you want to use it as a DC resistor, just remember the
difference.

circulating

exact 50
