FYI, if it helps any, this goes to a 3cx800A7 amplifier of some sort.

Hi builders.

Hopefully you all can view this schematic.

I'm trying to understand what T2 and associated circuitry do.  D17 and D18 seem 
like a simple bias circuit as SW3 selects between "class C" and "class AB1"  It 
seems opening R20 puts tube in standby (RX).

What is the point of having 24VDC from T2?  Is it to have a smaller wattage D17 
and D18?

Thanks in advance,
Paul
