Put 10 x 1N5408 / 6A10? /? PM-600? diodes in series? on some perf board.? ?It goes in series with the CT of the fil xfmr.? ?UN-banded end of the diode string faces the CT of the fil xfmr.? ?This will reduce the idle current down to 100 ma? on the 2650 position......and 40 ma on the 1900 position.?
A? 50k to 100K? ?@ 2-3 watt? MOF resistor is wired in series with the new diode bias string.? ?Re-wire contacts of? the center pole of the TR relay? to shunt the resistor on? TX.?
