It was done all the time back then. Just a spst toggle to short out the? ALC jack.? ?Then it looked like a solid green bar on the scope, instead of the typ 'xmas tree' pattern.?
Funny thing was, nobody bitched abt imd / splatter...go figure.?
Some folks in W6 land told me they pulled out one of the tubes, then cut off one of the pins, to do the same thing.?
Essentially, you turned it into an rf clipper, albeit, with no filter to clean up out of band imd products. A real RF clipper would have the 2nd filter. ( like the magnum 6 /? DX engineering RF clippers).?
The Vomax was just a split band audio clipper, with a filter for each of the 3 x bands.? Then the filtered ( and clipped) 3 x bands were? re-combined.??
