Getting WAY to hot here in Oklahoma, so I may well be back to the R-390A's sooner than I think!  Do have an audio problem in my homebrew AM transmitter ( 2x813's modulated by 2x810's) that one R-390A will be paired with and the other will accompany a Viking II on AM. I'll need some help likely in the winter.

A pair of those came in the deal with one of my R-390A's and I have tentatively installed them and won't use if they cause the problem described.  I still have the good ones that came with that rig and a spare or two of the tubes.  I know about the resistor mod too.
