The general rig's filter method constrains bandwidth in SSB only down about 30 db or so. Then the typical rig gets fat flaring out from there. In some cases, they get VERY fat, very fast. 73/jeff/ac0

I agree with Bill generally -- but would add that the term "cost" means both time as well as money. More and more parts are only available in SMT size but for the most part that's not a major limitat

I doubt comments by guys on the reflectors is weighing in on any biz decision. Far more likely is that the bureaucratic hoops to jump over and legal risks are more substantive. 73/jeff/ac0c www.ac0c.

Generically speaking, I don't think the 2nd tube changes the tank tune settings - assuming the same total plate current and the HV is unchanged. What does change is the stray anode capacitance (Cout)

This is the quandary of the solid state amp. The part can be blasted in such a small time that there is a premium on the speed and thresholds of the protection circuitry - too little or too late and,

The YC156 is a great tube but it has two issues - assuming you have a good tube. First (minor issue) is the grid current limit is 100 mA and with low B+ you can get serious grid current with moderate

Uh huh. There is Cout that is manageable -- and then there is the YC156. I am pretty sure that anyone who has actually been-there, done-that with this tube - would use the term "easily" in conjunctio

A single band amp, 3-500z glass tube - that's not even a beginners challenge by comparison. the Cout is about 7x higher plus the monster anode on the YC156 makes a hell of a good capacitor with the e

Sorry for the confusion. I was thinking of a pair for So2r. Each kit is over $3K - not including delivery or local parts sourcing. Call it $4K as a round number. And you need 2 of them for a serious

For me, especially with RTTY contesting, the capability of running this amp on a So2r basis should not be assumed to be workable until it's actually proved. This gets back to my main point. The gee-w

It's true that a mistuned amp can generate plenty of harmonic energy content. Many years ago I was running a 76PA into a resonant but extremely narrow banded 160m antenna. There was a contest going a

The tube is ok. It needs voltage to really do a good job so for the B+ think above 2500. Plus you need a pi input net to get decent efficiency out of the tube. A swamped resistor drive results in poo
