I am no expert on this. I have a Dentron Clipperton-L that I had applied the 10M fix to it years ago. But I fried the parasitic suppressors when working WARC bands. At the suggestion of several on the group I changed the RFC over to an Ameritron RFC and suppressor assembly and that fixed the problems. Apparently the original Dentron RFC was not very effective on the WARC bands. Not sure that applies to the DTR-2000.

Please anyone can tell me the factors to consider, including burning tank components, when operating old linear amplifiers on the WARC bands, especially 12 meters.

Alpha 76 PAC meaning the 3 tube version.
TenTec Titan One
Dentron DTR-2000
ICOM IC-2KL

All these amps have factory-type conversions to TEN meters already done. The Alpha has the swamping input taken out. Other than that, all amps are stock.

Thanks for all specific info... 73,
