121. Re: [Amps] Amplifier Rule Changes in the new R&O (score: 1)

Pete, this section of the R&O essentially amounts to a status-quo change. Perhaps the most significant change relates to the ability to offer complete kits -- which may work to Elecraft's benefit. T

That's true with AM as no-modulation carrier power became reduced but I believe most other modes, including SSB and CW benefited from the FCC's rule change. Paul, W9AC ______________________________

Tom, I believe AM was the only mode adversely affected by FCC Docket 82-624. A 100% sine-modulated carrier of 375 watts output produces ~ 1500W PEP out. But under the old rules of a maximum limit of

This was the point of my post this morning. And if accuracy is important here on AMPS as I know it is to many, we should start using the right terms, not terms that are undefined. Paul, W9AC _______

One method I've used is to add high-quality test point jacks to the amp's front or rear panel. Low-wattage metal-film resistors of 1K-ohm or so can be used to isolate the filament connection from th

Juan, The few new tubes that exist are locked up in our safe-deposit boxes. The 3CV1500A7 is electrically and in most respects, identical to the 3CX1000A7. The only difference is that the CV has a b

John Lyles probably knows the numbers. In terms of the Alpha 70V, water leakage is measured between 0-5 mA DC, with 5 mA being off scale. Assuming that the metering is correct (big assumption), I ty

A significant difference in the use of water with RF loads is that it is not mixed with high-voltage and accordingly, probably no real reason to minimize leakage, but immunity to long-term corrosion

Great points, Dennis. I have often thought about adding a separate HV contactor relay to both Alpha amps for the purpose of applying HV at some reasonable time after lighting filaments. My gut has n

That makes a lot of sense. Some of the sources I've read recently advocate not using ground as a MOV reference for that very reason. High current surges may follow other grounding paths (coaxial cab
