- I'm contemplating a single 4CX350FJ (Cout = 7pF) amplifier for 250 watts on HF where the plate impedance, at 2200 volts, figures to be 5000 ohms and requires a (total) plate C circa 15pF on 10 meters

- Simply wind the 10M coil as per the software program using your favorite Q while ignoring any C. Then center tap that coil with the Tune C; it will be 4X ratio so now you need 4X the C to resonate. T

- Hi Carl, Marv, I was about to suggest to simply reverse the order of things, and do this: 1) add up the tube's capacitance, stray capacitance, and minimum capacitance of the plate tuning cap; 2) Calc

- I wasn't paying attention when the beginning of the thread marched by, thus the bad timing. So: center-tap the 10m coil with the Tune C, then just leave the "left-hand" end open? The YC156 suffers fr

- The full thread is in the archives. No it goes to the tube. Its especially helpful with that and similar tubes and since a vacuum cap is needed the min C is a bit less. The MRI amps operate close to

- The C1 tap can be most anyplace on the coil, and the ratio will increase the more you move the tap towards the output side. Ive found the midpoint or a bit less to be a good compromise between a usea

- Thanks, Jim. And by using two coils (as you mention) I could keep the big roller in place that I bought for the purpose. OTOH, using NOS vacuum relays instead is looking more attractive in case I dec
