It was 1983/1984 ... the QSK-1500 was introduced at the 1984 Dayton Hamvention. Design Electronics Ohio was Dr. John Sheller, K8RR (then KN8Z). I was involved in designing most of the control circui

Econco have repeatedly stated the 8171 and similar tubes could be rebuilt essentially forever since the anode can be removed without loss of metal. In those tubes which require cutting the ceramic-m

"Hot switching" causes a transient in anode current by changing the load (specifically, the plate load impedence). Once the output contacts close, the impedence changes abruptly and there is a disco

Rich runs this non-issue into the ground again ... WA4GPM is no longer employed at Eimac/Varian as he left to join Triton when the glass tube division was sold and moved east. Since you called Eimac/

The common voltage doubler is a "full wave voltage doubler" ... as such the capacitor bank gets 120 Hz ripple. The charge gets piled on top of the stack on one half cycle and pulled out of the botto

Eimac's spec sheets show two-tone numbers ca. 65% of the single tone value. As such, the 1200 watts of two-tone power would reprecent about 1800 watts of carrier. The only way I know of to measure t

Rather than argue about "instant on" tubes versus turning on the amplifier when one enters the shack .... Does anyone have reliable data on holding tube heaters at a temperature low enough to elimina

Bill, Check Jim Hawkins' site (http://www.exit109.com/~jimh/radio.shtml). He has stuff on several of the old-time "big iron" stations including VOA (Betany), WLW, etc. The sub-title on the site is:

Add to that the McMartin transmitter (forgot the model number ... it's been > 20 years) with the 8877 driven by a 4CX250 and a similar CCA transmitter. I suspect a great majority of the class A FM s

The recent "amps" discussion of which tube to use for building a new CW amplifier started me thinking ... If one were building a new amplifier (or buying one of the new commercial units) what tube or

OK ... I looked at my Varian catalog and the 103 Amps was for the "J" version of the 4CX5000/4CX1000. Still, the requirements for filament power, air socket and air flow are a bit stiff for the amat

Terry, The 3CX1200A7 (instant on, reasonable drive/gain, etc.) is certainly an interesting tube but I'm concerned that the only commercial user seems to be Ameritron and I have my doubts about the lo

Look carefully at Radiodan's Henry page ... the only desktop amplifier capable of 160-10 meters using the 3CX1200A7 is only rated a 750 watts DC (carrier). That doesn't even put Henry in the serious

Commented on the Henry designs elsewhere ... The 4-400 is a rather special case. It's primary niche was in 1 and 2.5 KW AM broadcast transmitters. With the cost to retube a transmitter pushing $2 K

Still, 550 watts of filament power and 120 to 150 CFM of airflow (Svetlana data sheets) seem a bit hefty for an amateur amateur amplifier. Of course, it looks like one of the 200 watt rigs will driv

This is the third (in addition to the larger filament power and cooling requirements) problem with using "tubes with handles" at amateur power levels. When underdriven the RL goes quite high - a 3CP

The 750 watts is "useful power output," i.e. output after plate circuit losses. The real kicker is the MAXIMUM rated plate current of .6 Amps. With Max E and Max I that's 1350 max watts input or may
