I still don't understand what is is doing for you. If you reverse bias the diode the voltage will fly up. There needs to be rf isolation with the choke but a shunt path to absorb the extra bias due to drive.


I'll have to find the circuit somewhere around here or axe the Tron again when I hear him on... it's been many years since I've used it.  But it consists of only a diode and power supply choke to stop the rectified voltage from the final grid circuit charging up the bias supply caps to infinity...  :-)   There IS s a shunt feature to it as I remember.
Seems I also used a relay too, but it is foggy.

Use an "AM Courtesy Filter" to limit transmit audio bandwidth  +-4.5 KHz, +-6.0 KHz or +-8.0 KHz when needed.  Easily done in DSP.

Here is the Shunt Regulator that Chuck, K1KW insisted that I use in my rig after he put his blessing on the construction.
