Hi,

Someone put a 6BE6 in my set as an SSB detector - as far as I can tell
its the Captain Lee mod.  It can only be reversed with some difficulty,
so I wouldn't do it nowadays.  The set works well on SSB without any
problems other than the carrier level meter calibration being way out.
(too sensitive - Which, admittedly, may be a symptom of something else
wrong.) Any noise from the 6BE6 is swamped by aerial noise. I've only
used 2-diode SSB detectors on home-made sets as a comparison. Can't tell
the difference. - Bryce (apologies for long CSIR disclaimer - will
attempt its removal.)
