- Several HB Amp circuits I see have an RF Choke across the Output. Other than the obvious (protection against Plate Coupling Cap short), what are the other Pro's and Con's ? I was thinking I should us

- ORIGINAL MESSAGE: REPLY: If your antenna is an open circuit for DC as many are, there would be a HV pulse applied to the coax through the plate blocking cap. If the DC leakage on your coax and antenn

- A shorted quarter-wave coaxial stub would make a more robust safety 'crowbar' than a choke wound with fine wire, and it also attenuates the 2nd harmonic in the FM band. -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK http://w

- ORIGINAL MESSAGE: REPLY: That's ok until someone down the road changes antennas. You may not be the only owner of the amp. I like to think one of my grandkids might someday use grandpa's old amp. :-)

- The only problem installing anything shorted (stub, antenna choke etc) on the output connector is that you arc the T/R relay when it goes into transmit mode! Why not just put a choke or 100K resistor

- ORIGINAL MESSAGE: REPLY: A resistor in place of the choke is not a good idea. If the blocking cap shorts, the resistor will almost certainly blow open and you are right where you were if there was no

- Agreed - a resistor provides no protection against failure of the HVDC blocking capacitor. That's certainly the idea... but how many of us have ever confirmed that our "safety" chokes could really do

- Hello, Unfortunately, I've had a failed blocking cap. and the choke on the output did save a bunch of ant. switching relays and other parts. The choke did work as Bill, W6WRT, said it should. The cho
