I do, Howard.  That VCO is still the best way to know what's going on, 
although not so easy to set up in today's radios.  I keep thinking I want to 
connect a VCO to my AL-811H so I can monitor grid current, etc.  At least 
with that amplifier, there's room to connect the wires, and I already have 
the VCO.
