[Heathkit] DX-100 b general question

[Stan Nafziger]

Andrew, Lee is correct.  It's been a while since I owned a DX-100.  I did
some research and found this video that specifically shows proper Load
adjustment.  You already know much of what he says, but the tuning is
clearly shown.  I would be a bit more careful to keep the grid at or below
the 5 ma recommendation.

I was wrong, Lee, you are correct.  ;-)
