What a crock!!!!!!!!
They don't say where on the circuit board you mount this thing. All of the familiar no-brain CB terms, though

As someone once said, "Probably some piece of apparatus used in the southern states to beat monkeys with."

OMG, you guys don't know what your missing. I put one of these across the grids of some 833a modulators driving a pair of 6146 finals with 3800 on the plates and now she's swinging 6000 bird watts with 400 watts of carrier. Tongue

The part itself is a disk of depleted unobtainium.
