On a Linear Amplifier would having the output relay of the amplifier operate 20 millisecs before the input relay be sufficient to keep RF from being on the output contacts before they are closed? Den

2 milliseconds is enough, as long as it is always there and the contacts don't bounce that long.Most relays are done bouncing within 1 ms. Be sure it opens AFTER the input relays opens also! 73, Tom

This depends a bit on the form of the relay. If the relay at the output is a changeover type, then you still can get the hot switching problem, albeit only(!) with the drive power. It is all very de

// Hotswitching of the RF input relay contacts is half of the problem. This can be ameliorated by replacing the transceiver's amplifier control relay with a switching transistor, and by using an inp

Of course it never hurts to measure an unknown, but virtually all relays useful in amplifiers take far less than 20ms to switch. Typical open frame 20 ampere relays switch in 12 mS or less. The only

Well, I don't know, but when the T/R relay on my SB-220 began to stick in the "on" position, it turned out to be the bias contacts that were the worst burnt. Maybe a sign that they were trying to ope

Hi Bill IMHO the best way to control bias/cathode current is by means of solid-state switching. It will be faster than either I/O relay operating at <2ms make and <1ms break. The bias (on/off)control

I don't know how you test a new amp for stability but an unloaded state is the best way. If it's not stable unloaded then it's not stable. What the hell is "every amp manual" ? Paul Paul Hewitt WD7S
