The mechanism is this. You have two pieces of gear plugged into two different branch circuits, and there is a low voltage connection between them. For example, one is a computer and the other is your

The installation you described with everything bonded together outside is the right way to do it. You'll see the same thing at microwave, two-way, and cell sites. Yes, you do need to tie all of your

North American electrical codes, nearly all of which are patterned on the NEC, say that you must bond the power system neutral at the service entrance to an earth electrode of at least minimum qualit

You've got an Extra Ticket. It's fair to assume that you studied radio and electronics to get it. That's far from being a neophyte. That's absurd logic. There are a few mistakes in a textbook, thus w

I've just acquired a vintage Titan 425. After fixing some problems, I think I may have it running OK, except that the power transformer is making a lot more noise on keydown than my two other Titan p

I don't think they're identical, but both are used in a lot of amps. Ten Tec used one for a while, then switched to the other. Gigavac makes both types and will sell them to hams at a special price.

Tom is right, of course. BUT: let's not lose track of the original problem, which is SHORT (a few seconds) interruptions of mains power that cause the Alpha's filament timer to reset. Paul's major co

Sometimes simple and brute force is better. Earlier in this thread, it was suggested that the timer was microprocessor based, not in discrete circuitry, and was not easy to reprogram. Some things are

The lytic sounds like the best approach if you can figure out where the timer is getting its voltage sample (and its own power). I don't like the battery idea -- If it held the system up through too
