Pulling together a few sub-threads... The 11/110MHz (8553B) plugin for the 141T mainframe is stable enough for IMD testing, if you leave it for long enough to warm up - just don't expect to do any se

It does look strange... looks like they're trying to avoid having to provide gate drive to the floating transistor Q702, and are making Q702 trigger itself instead. -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK ____________

Several people have suggested cutting it roughly first, and then finishing off with some kind of router and a straight-edge. This is a job for a real router, though. Even a bottom-of-market 1/4-in ro

There is a spreadsheet on my home page (below) which does just that. It was originally for designing Pi and Pi-L networks, but after a previous round of this discussion in 1999-2000 I extended it to

Fortunately it doesn't matter, because "resonance" does not affect what L- or Pi-networks actually do. -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK _______________________________________________ Amps mailing list Amps@con

That wasn't the point I was making at all! An L, Pi, Pi-L, T or similar network can be analysed, explained and designed in complete detail without ever using the concept of "resonance", so for these

Abandon hope. Glass-metal or ceramic-metal technology has to be done just right, or else something will leak or crack. Often you only get one chance to do it right, and many processes are a one-way t

The voltage "doubler" mod by K1KP/K6XX is almost certainly safe because it uses the existing relay supply rail, and only gives the relay a very short kick of increased voltage. All the rest of the ti

2W or 3W metal film resistors are the modern substitute for solid carbon. The inductance is slightly higher, but not seriously so, and it can be reduced by paralleling two or more higher-valued resis

All the good happened in the first two or three mains cycles, when the resistor limited the surge current to less than 8A (<240V / 30 ohms). By the time you can see anything on a meter, the surge is

Different animal. Bob kindly forwarded the schematics for the 3KA, which uses two 3-500Zs. There are indeed a lot of things that could have been done differently - or rather, could be done differentl

Yes, exactly that. Same here, though all on a smaller scale of operations than Colin. OK, here's a question: any recommendations for a coil former material that can withstand a bit of heat? The 80/16

It's 50mm OD x 125 tall (2in x 5in in old money) but a ceramic former is very unlikely to have holes in the right places for securing the two separate windings. That's where a Teflon former would sco
