milli-voltmeter across the dummy load. Flip the stand-by

A receiver tuned to 28.5 MHz works very well for
neutralizing if an RF voltmeter is not available. In-
stead of tuning for a minimum voltage, tune for a min-
imum S-meter reading.

Since the drive tube operates into a fixed load (the
finals) it is not always necessary to replace this tube
when replacing the finals.
C A U T I O N :
Neutralization of the final section should be carried
out with the chassis shield in place. Dangerous high
voltages are present in the final section when the
transceiver is turned on. Use an insulated tool to make
the adjustment.
