    Worked like a charm.

    Less noise, lower distortion.
    Need some? ;)
    I wouldn't mind trying some.
    Maybe try it out in a crystal radio or see what difference they make in a Cobra 29 I fixed and had been trying to sell. where else would they work good at besides band switching & detectors?
