Does anyone on the list have a good used AL-82, 1200 or 1500 amp they are
Willing to sell. These things are getting hard to find. Prefer the 82 as I love
The glow of fire bottles but would consider any AL-1200 or 1500 if not too
Expensive.
Thanks

Have you guys taken into consideration that the tank circuit in these amps only
transform down to 200 ohms, not 50 ohms from the plate impedance? ?After the
tank circuit it passes through a 4 to 1 balun which brings it down to 50 ohms.

Thanks Peter. I calculate a Q of 7 to 8 for the stock design mentioned in the
previous email.
There are still a fair number of these amps in use, I wondered if others had
similar experience.
I considered redesigning for higher Q but the modifications to the entire tank
circuit would be extensive. Again, I wondered if anyone had done such a thing.

I used stacks of T225-2 for a mobile antenna loading coil on 40m.
Measured Q was around 400.
Toroid coils with taps, which no good idea anyway, will have much lower Q.
As part of a pi network for 160m in the 2KW out class only T400 was not
getting too hot, stacks of T300 still overheated in RTTY.

Subject: [Amps] QRO HF2000 tank coil Q question
Wondering if anyone can provide the specs on the low band tank coil for a
QRO HF2000.
It appears to be a stack of two red-mix T225A-2 iron powder toroids, with a
total of 25 turns, and taps for 40M at the 7th turn, and for 80M at the 13th
turn.
Also wondering if anyone else notices how hot it gets on 160m.
