1. [Amps] RF choke switching (score: 1)

I'm planning another amplifier (2 x 4-400A, 1.8-28 mHz) and I was thinking that I would deal with the "RF choke problem" by having two chokes in series. The one nearest the plates will have enough in

Hi Vic, For some time now I've mulling over a very similar set-up here...only in my instance, I was thinking of somehow shorting the bigger inductor whenever I wanted to use the higher frequency band

Vic, Why not use the vacuum relay to short the big choke? That is what is done on the tank circuit when bandswitchig. 73 de HB9SLV Vic K2VCO a écrit : _______________________________________________

The Henry 8K uses 2 chokes and so do several commercial 2-30MHz amps. Some switch, some dont. Carl KM1H _______________________________________________ Amps mailing list Amps@contesting.com http://li

Using 2 chokes in series and not switching them is not a "carte blanche" solution to not having any series resonances. It is probably easier to get 2 chokes to work over all the bands but be wary if

Because if I do this, the bigger choke will be out of the circuit completely on the high bands. My method will leave it there, after the bypass, to provide additional filtering on the HV lead to the

Vic, Look at my post of a few hours ago. Two non-resonant chokes in series can together be resonant. This is basic circuit theory and there is no way around the issue. Larry, W0QE ___________________

Most ham amplifiers use 200 uh chokes for all bands. It's hard to make a 200 uh choke that won't have resonances near a ham band when WARC bands are included. But this choke only has 2.26K of reactan

Correct, but if there is a bypass capacitor to ground in between the chokes, then the additional impedance provided by the big choke -- even if lower than it could be due to a nearby resonance -- is

The usual method is to lift the first chokes ground lead with a vacuum relay and another (or a dpdt one) to remove the short around the 2nd choke. A variant is to leave the second choke in the circui

Vic, Shane, and others, Changing the circuit to be 2 inductors in series with a capacitor to ground at the connection point between the inductors changes things but does not fix the possible low over
