Ray Ivers	Re: Ghost Noting R.G., I've been meaning to try that diode thing! It seems like it would work really well in isolating the PA's PS-loading effects from the sensitive preamp & PI circuitry. How about large-value series resistances to ground before/after the choke, instead of diodes? It seems like the reverse-biased diodes might be conducting small spikes to ground quite often at high output power if the series diode does its job, and might eventually fail; just a thought. Ray
