I just picked up a NOS Yaesu FL-2100B. I used to own a TL-922A and for that I installed a dedicated 234v line in the shack. My 117v lines are a little crowded so I was thinking about converting the F

Ken, Did you notice the same (or similar) voltage sag with the TL-922A???? If so, check the IR drop between the breaker and the outlet. I recently restored a FL-2100B for a local disabled ham. His ri

Thats high but not unheard of on a 120V line as it depends on the total length from the breaker. Since 240V is a simple process, go for it. Drop should be around 350V then. Id also check the filter c

That's also a symptom of one or more bad filter caps in the HV string. Usually there are 8-16 of them in series, with resistors across them to equalize the voltage across them. It's not uncommon for

Hi Ken, A 'stiff' HV is a very good thing for dynamic loads such as SSB. It starts with the AC mains. Back in the 70s, I bought a new-to-me Heath SB220 that was wired for 120V operation. It didn't ta

Agreed ... So why not measure the input mains voltage at or near the same socket and see how if performs when keying the amp? In my last house, I found I'd lose about 10V from 240V when the amp was

If the bleeder/equalizing resistors are stable, the discharge time can be calculated. So, you can determine the capacity of the electrolytic capacitors without even taking the amp apart. If you are l

In the grand scheme of things, the power to run a legal-limit ham amplifier is not a lot of current at 240 volts. Here in the US, it's common for homes to have that much load in the form of a couple
