50 kw, sure, but maybe just for ssb. For plate modulated AM keep it down to 20kw -is the rule at my hamshack. :) The beauty is indeed the vacuum. And <rf-amps> is indeed the place for multiple apost
Why all the excitement? To save a buck per leg? Go for 5, or maybe 6. A '1 kv' diode should only ever see, what, 400v? And the 1N5408 is the next level up. Why push it? Bill K2AME ~~~~~
So the ct cannot float . . . Boring, cheezy xfmr. Not even 230vac. Sorry about the bad review, but what do you expect from GE anyway. <g> Bill -- -- wwd@netheaven.com K2AME -- ~~~~~~~
This conclusion is a non-sequitor. The RG solution was to grab a common item and employ it more or less logically to solve one step in an convoluted chain of functions that posesses no overall coher
AFAIK, the seller has not chimed in with any more data. My suggestion would be to leave it IN the microwave, remove the rotating platter, and build up a nice final of proper proportion. The digital i
Reading old tags is tough at best. Most likely they wimped out when they tried to stamp the dot after the 4 in the 4620kv. Depending upon its age this xfmr just may be bridgeable for the full 4.6kv o
For current just compare to a known good meter. They are in series, right? For voltage just compare to a known good meter. Use both series and parallel here. It is a do-it-yourself hootenanny! The a
A Mallory engineer back in the 1960's put a non-equalized electrolytic string in a published project with the admonition that such R/eq were folly since during failure-mode they actually worked agai
That implies you have rf in the shack. Is this 'excessive' rf? May be time to unhook those caps temporarily and redo the rf distribution until the relays no longer kick out. FWIW. Bill K2AME
Just 2800 volts? Frankly, it would be a whole lot more interesting if it were bridgeable to around 5kv. Is it a 1400-0-1400 xfmr or ?? The tap implies a ct, but can the ct float? I need 5kv. 8-) Bil
So maybe that is why he did not use them. <g> But we are not discussing the fool who leaves no margin, are we? Let's always have 3 extra electrolytics in our string, beyond what a normal, prudent rat
It would appear the original poster meant to say: 'plate-modulated' rather than 'phase-modulated'. Plate modulated Class-C is 'normal' AM configuration. But then one should not really run GS35B's in
But unlike much [hollow/solid-state/analog/digital] emotionalism, any regulation issues such as these should be easily demo'd on a scope. Give me a good zener string anyday. Bill K2AME
