Hey amp gurus, I have been going around and around with a recently rebuilt VHF amplifier that is refusing to work correctly. To help me think this through, I want to be sure I am understanding how so
Paul, Positive screen current means that current flows into the grid, and negative screen current means that current flows out of the grid. The Zener diode string fixes the screen voltage, with a cur
Paul, With negative screen current the current thru the zener will DECREASE. You need to have enough current in the zener string at zero screen current so it will always be greater than the maximum n
My understanding is, part way through a tetrodes' life it's screen current requirements will reverse. I think you could just swamp it with more current through the zener string, or else build an acti
I screwed that one up. I was thinking about a series regulator rather than the shunt zeners. Disregard. 73 Gary K4FMX _______________________________________________ Amps mailing list Amps@contesting
