Only comets and children :-) In that wider world, "Pin 1 problem" just doesn't work as a descriptive term. Nobody can begin to guess what it means, unless they already *know* the answer. It is no dis

Another use for a cardboard box prototype is to check the air flow through the blower and tube/socket. This can save a lot of grief later on! A simple method of measuring volume flow is to time how

Do you really mean "downward through the anode cooler", Carl? A very common method for cooling VHF/UHF amps is to blow cold air into the enclosed anode cavity, so the only way out is upward through a

So the entire anode cavity fills up with hot air... Collins contributed many excellent ideas to the amplifier gene pool, but that certainly wasn't one of them. -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK http://www.ifwtec

OK - if it works well enough, then it works. The point I was trying to make was that there are better ways. Most designers recognise that heating of the cavity is a major source of tuning drift, espe

Alternatively, use a low-value resistor in series with the current path, and configure the meter as a voltmeter using a 'multiplier' resistor in series. The protection diodes are then connected in pa

A fuse provides NO current limiting until it blows; and a breaker provides NO current limiting until it breaks. A lot of damage can be done in those first few milliseconds, which is why the fuse/brea

The usual technique is to apply a crowbar short across the valuable tube, while other, slower, circuits are shutting down the rest of the power supply. The voltage is a bit high for a thyristor crowb
