Hello again, I have a question about the No Tune type of amplifiers that are/were offered for sale to amateurs through the years. Would one of you take a moment to mention the makeup and consideratio
Skip, There is only one way I know to make a no-tune tube amplifier, and that is by making a so called distributed amplifier. In this configuration a large number of tubes, normally tetrodes, are con
Hello Skip & all... "No tune" vacuum tube power amplifiers: All the practical ones (i.e., NOT distributed amps with 8++ tubes and efficiency <30%) are really band-pass, not broadband. Most hams have
I would like to see the calculations. As I said before, the effect of 20 pF at 2500 Ohms is a bit bigger than 5 pF at 5 Ohms. It is this high impedance / high capacitance combination that makes broa
