Hi Tom, switched PA, If we want to be precise, we would have to see in which class the amplifier operates. Hard switched in class C or class E? While the lowest instant voltage depends on the tube sa

Hi Gary, It's quite simple, if you look at it analytically, instead of applying cookbook formulas and blindly believing in the results! Unfortunately, many engineering books use the cookbook approach

Hi Dana, Rating frequencies in "cycles" is just plain wrong and nonsensical! Rating them in "cycles per second" is correct. "Cycles per minute", or whatever other time unit, would also be correct. By

Hi Peter! The tank coils of real big transmitters are often water cooled! When you already have the water circuit to cool the tubes, it's not that much more effort. I guess you would need some coiled

Hi Brian, Sounds like you have a gassy tube. Applying some high voltage through some sort of current limiting device. But it's not simple. You need to apply at least twice the normal high voltage of

Hi guys, with all that talk about heat spreader to heatsink mounting here, I can't help but wonder about how nonsensical it is to make such an copper-to-aluminium sandwich! Why not make the entire he

Hi all, perhaps someone can help me with a purely technical transformer question: I understand that large transformers have to be designed for lower flux density than small ones. Otherwise the core l

Hi Pat, and all! Usually the insulation breaks down from heat degradation. Many of the transformers I have rewound had the paper charred, and the wire insulation flaking off. The laminations will not

Hi David! Yes, that's right. The problem is that the guys in the store that can sell me transformer laminations have no idea what they are selling. From looking at it, it looks like a decent but not

I agree with Bryan on this. One of the most unreliable type of components is resistors operated at high voltage. In my amp, I discovered bad voltage equalization resistors when the electrolytics sta

Peter, Yes, this is of course a point to keep present. It would never occur to me to make a series string of different diodes, and use them without equalization! But for that matter, I wouldn't use a

Hi Lon, A Google search brings up some sources, but typically they have less than 4 units available, and at a stiff price, 50 to 100 dollars each! These devices seem to be simple five-packs of 1N4007

Hi Peter! Well, I'm not so much a believer in that! I would probably just replace the string with the failed diode, at least if I know a good reason why it failed. If I don't know the reason, I might

Hi Kim! Just an addition to what others have replied: You don't say how much below 2:1 the SWR is. With a PI output, your SWR is probably good enough to be no concern at all, BUT you cannot trust you

Hello Sulaiman, John, John has a good point there. I own a NCL-2000, which is working great, but I'm using it on the basis that if I kill the tubes, I will have to build or buy a new amp, because new
