DX-100 grid current flicker

[Bob Okas]

Brian,

I had a similar problem years ago with my DX-100. The grid current flicker
was most noticeable on 10m. The culprit was the 47 uuF postage stamp cap
which is tied between the control grids of the 6146's and ground. I replaced
it with an epoxy dipped silver mica cap and it's been fine ever since. If
the grid current problem persists after you get the choke repaired, try
swapping the cap.
