While I had the 2KD Classic opened up for other work I decided to
look at the HV supply. I thought that the caps and resistors were a
little on the weak side from all that I have seen here. I wonder if
anyone would care to suggest better cap and resistors for it?
At present is has 8 ea 180MFD 450VDC caps and wirewound 20K Ohm 20
watt 5% resistors.
They still seem to be working ok but I notice that when turned on the
voltage comes up to about 1800 Volt in the CW position and then
slowly raises to about 2200 Volts. In the ssb position it comes up to
about 2900 volts and the over a period of about 1 min it comes up to
3200 volts. Due to this I would like to replace them and save myself
trouble down the road
Thanks for any suggestions.
Bob
