221. Re: [Amps] HV relay (score: 1)

It's OK to put HV on the tube during the warmup time. What you don't want to do is ask it to draw plate current or generate power. A simple delay circuit that locks out TX is all you need. 73, Jim K9

This is also what Ten Tec does with the Titan 425, using tubes that also require 3 min warmup. Tubes last a LONG time if not mistreated. 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ A

Greg, There were several versions of this amp, all "running mods" that made relatively minor changes. Adding the WARC bands was one of them. I have three of these amps, one without the WARC band mods

There is nothing "non-ideal" about this -- it is a perfectly good way to operate a 120V fan from a 240 volt source. Many good power amps are built that way, including some Ten Tec and Alpha models. 7

The power supply for the Ten Tec Titan 425 (1980 vintage) uses a 20 ohm 25W resistor in series with one side of the primary. I haven't one apart for a while, but I recall the relay contacts looking l

Clarification. I can believe magnetic coupling as the cause of 60 Hz hum, but a connection to EARTH has NOTHING to do with magnetic coupling. Magnetic coupling requires a loop for current that couple

Yes, the stub burns most of the harmonic power that hits it. While we talk about a "zero ohm load," it's really some fraction of an ohm depending on the loss in the coax used to make the stub, so the
