Parasitic supressors

[Murray Leshner]

Metal Film resistors are usually spiral cut with a laser, making them more
inductive than carbon film. This may not be a huge problem, but it may shift
the resonance.

You might be interested in looking up Rich Measures' AG6K's articles on
alternative parasitic suppressors that take a closer look at what problems
occur and what can be done to prevent them. He does use an alternate
resistor - I think a 'flameproof' resistor that is probably some sort of
film resistor, but at least sme analysis of the redesign has been done
instead of changing component type and hoping it's OK.
