I have an old Drake 1KW LPF in line running 1500w output from an Alpha 87A to a TH7DX. It's worked fine for several years. I've pulled the LPF out of the line. At 28000 with 1500W out, the reflected

Assuming the power meter is between the LPF and antenna, it's difficult to see how the LPF could be increasing the harmonic level. Another possible cause is that your meter has poor directivity and h

Steve, my experience with the Drake LPF's is that after sustained use at 1.5 KW, they start to fail. Probably capacitor dielectrics are breaking down or something similar. They are really only rated

The extra 100 watts of reflected power could be harmonic energy above the filter cutoff. In other words, the filter is doing its job. Or some components have changed value and the filter's characteri

I assumed he had the meter before the LPF. That's the best place for it, since the diodes in the meter may generate harmonic energy themselves. Vic K2VCO

The low pass filter should be placed where the SWR is least. That is before an antenna tuner. High SWR probably burns up more filters than anything else. Also, filters rated for 1000watts (in the old

A low pass filter does not necessarily have a flat 50 ohm response. Especially when you get to 10 meters. It is already starting to roll off some. This produces some reactance which will show up as a

to to since I think they don't - I failed to find measurable harmonics when I tried looking, and Peter Chadwick found the same. I think he tested at higher power than the 800W I had. Steve

87A of to filter have more. If we are looking at 100W of harmonic energy in 1500W output power, that's only 12dB down. I'd expect the amp to be a lot cleaner than that. Steve

What about a parasitic oscillation? Usually VHF parasitic oscillations are very obvious but if there (for what ever reason) was one that was not as power producing as usual. 73 Bill wa4lav Amen, Stev

I guess it depends on the design of the meter. The old-style 'monimatch' type with parallel conductors definitely did generate harmonics, and was known to cause TVI, hence the suggestion to put it in

In theory, yes. In practice, it's often difficult to measure anything. Steve

I think it would have to be reasonably close to, or lower than, the signal frequency for 100W ish to get through the tank circuit and reach the o/p connector. Steve
