Looking further into my lower-than-expected power output on my 3x813 amp.... 1. Checked all tubes in my 813 supply one at a time. Only 1 out of 12 had slightly lower plate current than the rest. I se
Sounds like you might need more drive power. That would increase the plate current swing which will lower the plate load resistance. This would require less plate loading C for maximum power output.
I agree with Gerard about needing more drive. Also what are you using for a plate choke? Coupling cap? I assume the safety choke is at least 1.5mh Most amps come up a little short on 160. What about
The safety choke should be "transparent" on all bands. If tuning changes, suspect the choke. Don WA4NPL _______________________________________________ Amps mailing list Amps@contesting.com http://li
