Hi there. Shortly before ramming my SUV into two large elk while mobiling during the WA state salmon run last month, I observed something a bit odd with my trusty old Metron amplifier. While fine tun

Noninductive metal film resistors can take a beating. I suspect you have a ground loop or loose connection. The amplifier input is not tuned so it should look like a passive load to the exciter. You

Also, try lengthening the coax between the amp & antenna. Hi-Sierra recommends 20-25 feet of coax for their screwdrivers. I have a HB copy of the HS, and indeed it makes a big difference in how it tu

HI to all. For what its worth, this 20--25 foot coax length figure is what Collins Radio Corp always spec'd fro connecting the KWM-x series radios to their amps. Read this in the setup and op manual

Thanks for the input on my Metron amp. Primary suspect is now a ground loop effect. There were absolutely no loose or questionable coax connections, but plenty of potential ground loop paths. There i

Yea, verily! On several occasions over the years with my Metrons, I would accidentally put the full 100 watts out of the exciter into the input of an amp. Very soon you could hear the swamping resis

What does the Metron use for Transistors? I'm running the ALS-500 with four 2SC2879s which is good for 5-600W out, band dependent. What does the Metron do? I was considering the Metron or Henry SS750
