Yes, I knew it was something like this - quick and dirty - and I thought I 
remembered somebody talking about wrapping it around one of the tube pins 
too... you probably would want to build your own outboard input filter...

now gotta check for an equivalent point in the R392...

After I posted I looked through the archives, and for some reason it wasn't 
easy to find, perhaps the thread subject wasn't totally relevant to the 
contents...

To all those suggesting the upconverters... yes, duuh, that is always 
possible with any receiver <g>
