- Hi Conrad, I experienced negative grid current once with an 8877 amp and traced it back to a poor connection at the ground return of the HV supply. You might want to check there first. Hope this help

- Hi Gary, The Ten-Tec uses 4 pair of push-pull finals outputting into a set of relay-switched low pass filter networks. You might want to check the 40m low pass filter section. I would do a quick visu

- ... 100uF / 5 = 20 uF. 811H is 120 / 6 = 20uf. So both are the same, the 811H caps just have some additional voltage headroom. Matt KM5VI Yes - thanks for catching my error Victor. 100uF - not 500uF!

- On the Gonset, the line filter choke is on the low voltage DC return side of the diode bridge, I assume to reduce 60Hz ripple. It is undamaged. Are you referring to this choke for removal? The 811H s

- Thanks, you are correct. So 210 / 4 = 52.5 uF for the 811H. Matt KM5VI From: gudguyham@aol.com <gudguyham@aol.com> Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2020 11:10 AM To: maflukey@gmail.com Subject: Re: [Amps
