This problem has developed sometime in the last 6 months or so, but has taken some time to pin down as it seemed intermittent and was being blamed on other things. It did not exist when I first insta

Ok, thanks for all the testing suggestions and comments. Below I will try to answer all the questions and suggestions so far. I also find it hard to believe it is produced by the amp, but am running

At this point nothing is a stupid question, I am definitely confused. I am using other radios in the shack to measure it. It was first noticed for the bad clicks on 15m. The 15m station has an ft-100

Actually 'subharmonic' is a technically valid term. While not often used in hf radio it is frequently used in mathematical contexts when talking about sets of periodic functions, in microwave circuit

Well, I can now say for sure that it is not the amp. I have found that by feeding only the top 6 ele 20m beam and pointing it either due east or west I can generate the f/2 and 3f/2 products with as

Yes, the f/2 and 3f/2 both track the 20m transmitter exactly, so its not mixing with some other signal, its all due to that 20m signal somehow. It is also related to wx somehow. Yesterday when I got

No, I don't have a spectrum analyzer. I just put a short clip lead on another radio and hear it on that. As expected it does have many sidebands and when keyed with cw the clicks are very wide, obvio

I have a commander hf-2500 (pair of 3cx800a7's, no qsk) that seems to be working fine. However, during cqww cw last week I had to pull it off the 20m station because it was making a broadband noise w

I really, REALLY hate intermittent problems like this... it wouldn't do it cold. So I started warming it up, after 1/2 hour or so I got the transformer up to 225f, the rf deck surface about 150f, the

The plate voltage fluctuation is from line sag from another amp running the 160m contest. It may have been modulating the noise a bit, but didn't appear to be the cause or a direct effect of the nois

There were several vintages of the commander hf-2500 and along the line he raised the plate voltage. The older ones I have only start at about 2kv on the plate, the new ones are about 2.7kv. And yes

p.s. with practice you can clean those relays in about 10 minutes. Leave the top and bottom covers on, take off the back plate and tilt it back and you can reach in with medical forceps to clean the

According to the schematic there is a .1uf on the input, I didn't try to follow the tracks to see where it was though. There is no output side cap at all. David Robbins K1TTT e-mail: mailto:k1ttt@arr
