In Reply to: Metal film resistors in tuners? posted by Thermionic27609 on August 25, 2015 at 20:14:43:
I have an article here somewhere which goes into this subject in some detail. It refers to all RF circuits, not just FM tuners. My take-away point from reading it was to replace carbon or carbon film resistors with similar replacements. The circuits were designed to work with those types, and there is a difference in the way resistors perform at radio frequencies.
In the power supply and audio section, metal films are OK, of course.
I'll try and find the article and I'll post it if I can locate it.
