Half of the fun with a new amplifier is fixing design problems. If you
fix the tank design oversights on 40m and 160m, you will learn something.
Is this not better than being a vegitative appliance operator?
Remember: there is no perfect amplifier.
- On my Web site, there is an Excel 4 worksheet for tank calculations,
courtesy of Vince, that may be helpful.

If you would like to discuss fixing the tank design, please feel free to
telephone me.
- If you succeed in fixing a HF2500, other people would surely be
interested in how you went about it. What would you think about writing
a 'circuit improvements for the HF2500' article? If the powers-that-be
at QST magazine reject the article, you are welcome to publish it on my
Web site if you like.
