This is probably not the right place to discuss the nanotube receiver. However, the resonant properties of nanotubes are being used in the anti-cancer work by K3TUP as profiled in the current issue o

The issue that kills the tubes in that amp is over drive and overheating the grid, not "parasitics." Due to the transverse cooling the 8875 is rated for 300 watts plate dissipation (not 400 like the

There will be very little of use coming out of the old TV transmitters. Even the tube transmitters have been solid state to the final for many years - typically 1200 - 1600 watts at VHF (feeding tetr

Many of the "modern" transceivers have excess IF gain and use the ALC circuit for power control. Due to time constant issues (the manufacturer wants the radio to reach full power instantly) these tr

Why waste the money ... four 572Bs are half again to twice the price of four 811s. The 572B will not provide any more gain or power output than the 811 unless you modify the power supply for about 40

If the AL-811A plate voltage runs that high it is exceeding the "Maximum Plate Voltage" rating for the 811A tube and is a bad design. The RCA data sheet calls for 1500 V maximum in ICAS service and

I consider the question to be one of replacing 811A with 572B in general. Except for the unique case where the high voltage is above the 811's ratings, the answer is still "not worthwhile." The fila

The only difference is plate dissipation. Operated at 1250 volts on the plate and not overdriven, 4 x 811A have more than enough plate dissipation for service at 800W PEP output. The most likely fai

Depends on what Orr means by the statement ... if he means that the output (amplifier + feed through power) will be at least twice the power dissipated in the tube, he's probably accurate at "two ti

While you're in the area of the bandswitch also look at the padding capacitors ("doorknobs") since they are notorious for thermal drift with high current. A bad padder would also be consistent with

This is one of those "general rules" that is very wrong when it comes to solid state transceivers. Almost all modern power transistors have a "saddle shaped" IMD curve. When power output is reduced

That's true enough. Unfortunately, as you also point out in your presentation, most transceivers do not offer 24, 32, or 48 volt amplifiers capable of 200 in class B and 50 to 60 watts in class A. A

The keying line (PTT relay) in the SB-220 is +120 V DC. The contacts of the "Linear" or "Send" relays in most transceivers can not handle the voltage and current "spike" generated by the high voltage

Nearly all of the current crop of transceivers (including FT-9000, FT-2000, IC-756ProIII, IC-746Pro, TS-2000, TS-870, TS-570, etc.) still include an optional relay output. However, they are generall

Check the bias switch (relay, transistor, ?). If cutoff is not being applied in receive, the tube will generate wideband noise ("shot" noise). 73, ... Joe, W4TV ______________________________________
