Unlikely it'd be the antenna heating, but OTOH the typical balun sold to hams is quite susceptible even at less than the legal limit. On low bands like 160 and 75 it's easy to fracture the ferrite in

Great idea.... I too am using 2 resistors for the HV return in my 8877 project. I wanted to have a resistor in the power supply as well as in the RF deck. I used a 2K in the power supply and a 2k in

Good idea to use diodes instead of drop resistor Bill. Thank you for helping out! I would think that the diodes should be able to withstand very large surges, as you mention in case of a glitch. If t

Dave and all, the last SHV connectors I purchased were from Pasterrnak, the high priced specialist folks. They have SHV cable and mating chassis connectors for RG213/U coax. II wanted the security of

Exactly. I assume none of the people proposing using PL-259 plugs for HV are chartered engineers. The Engineering Council in the UK would I expect strip someone of their CEng status if an individual

Hi Jim, I could not find any ratings for the P{asternak connectors. When I received them, I was a bit dubious of them handling enough voltage. The dielectric of the center conductor of the coax has t

With cw dots you are "pulse" tuning at 30% duty. Last time I checked, CW dits are one unit length duration, and the spaces between dits within a character are also one unit length. Most keyer's these

REPLY: No, you are missing my point. By tuning up at 100% and getting some voltage sag, when you go to a lower duty cycle like SSB you have less sag and more headroom. Thus less likely to splatter, a
