- I have an AL-1200 that works very well using the 3CX1200A7 tube, but at the bottom end of 15 m the plate tune capacitor needs to be almost completely unmeshed for proper tuning. The load control is n

- Reduce the inductance. This is usually most easily done by spreading out the turns on the 21 MHz coil. Dave Hachadorian, K6LL Yuma, AZ I have an AL-1200 that works very well using the 3CX1200A7 tube,

- G'day Kim. Dunno if the AL-1200 is the same as the AL-1500 where the markings on the front panel indicate that the plate cap should be tuning at the spot you mentioned. Yeah, I know. Different tube b

- Thanks, both. Had I given this more than passing thought at 11 PM, the answer would have obvious! Next chance I have, I'll see if I can spread out the turns a bit. I can't get the cover off where it

- If the tank is resonating at "almost" unmeshed and there are two resonance points as you continue the rotation youre fine, leave it alone. Carl KM1H Thanks, both. Had I given this more than passing t

- Thanks, Carl! The tuning capacitor was *completely* unmeshed and I could not find the expected "double dip" points, which is what concerned me. I could never know if I was truly resonant or merely cl
