@Llew & @VS , can i run a couple of things past you for guidance please.
Iv'e done the resistor H/V switching mod on the Hughes this morning and as far as i can see iv'e not bricked it.
Using an unmodded one as reference, removed from OMT, so showing two open ports into room, the current draw on 12volts supply is 139mA, 17volts = 144mA .
Using the analyser shows a decent flat response across the band at about 63.4 dBuV and covering each port in turn to find the active one shows it to be on the RHC/V port only, no analyser response from the LHC/H port. Switching from 12v to 17 v makes no difference as to be expected.
-------------------------------
The modded one , using Llews resistor values of 22k & 1.2k :
Current draw @ 12v = 152mA & 17v = 161mA.
Using analyser as above, Now only LHC/H port active , nothing on RHC/V port and no change in port selection when switching from 12 to 17 volt supply change.
Gain response is slightly lower on the modded unit at 60dBuV across the band.
Your views gladly accepted.
