[Johnson] Ranger Resistor Needed

[Jim]

I think you are referring to the Phil Salas, AD5X articles 
http://www.ad5x.com/images/Articles/Ranger%20Mods%20RevB.pdf

I did these to my Ranger several years ago and they are great....

>> Mouser has 30K 20 watt wirewound resistors in a couple of styles.  See
>> http://www.mouser.com/Passive-Components/Resistors/Wirewound-Resistors/_/N-7fx9f?Keyword=30k&FS=True
>> for a couple of stocked styles and they also have a non-stock version
>> on the next page (available in single quantity) via order which will take
>> longer.  DigiKey
>> also has them but they are non-stock with minimum 100 order.
