Re: Re-membered (new to me) HT-37
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýDave, Perhaps you are aiming that at me. I am just looking in, and mostly still wondering why that caution {pause in STBY }was in the manual. I have to believe there is a reason why it says what it says, and am suspicious that if it is not heeded ??L26 will ¡°kick back¡± energy into the transformer. Of course I am a lone wolf, ?but nobody has said where that energy/ current will go any why it can¡¯t hurt the transformer ?

Anecdotal?comment but I seem to remember rumors about those who modified?HV power to solid state shortened the life of the power transformer significantly... ? I've had three HT-37 all unmodified. Never had any issues. Still don't have any issues with the HT-37 I purchased in 1964. Not sure why amateur operators think they know more than the factory engineers who designed and tested our radios! ?
