- to check on a supposition............ It appears possible that the sudden application of voltage to a tube filament causes degradation of the filament. What seems to happen? Is it possible that the v

- There are others on here who can probably explain this better than I, but... This is typically a problem with filaments that draw a lot of current. At turn on the resistance is a fraction of that onc

- Myth Busters did an experiment with light bulbs to see how they were affected by switching some on and off and others left on. Practically no difference. I believe this mostly started with light bulb

- Amen to that. There seems to be more belief of myths recently in the ham field than before and I suspect a good part is from AG6K's absolute pathetic nomsense that is read by the totally uninformed a

- Well, I'll chime in on this one with personal experience. Regardless of whether you believe in the "Myths" or not. Most are not supported with facts. I have a Clipperton-L purchased new in 1980. It i

- It is the Impedance that controls things Jim. A properly designed transformer will supply its rated voltage AND rated current when its connected to a "matched load" Its no different than a transmitte

- Didn't know that. I always figured the AL-80s were simply over driven so the Ip went way over 400 ma. I have heard of owners having to get a new tube every 3 years or so. What is the stock fil. v.? t

- The mechanical expansion of a cold filament is the function that weakens them. I suppose this means molecular level... Some examples: As Jim Thompson said, thoriated tungsten cold R is much lower tha

- Thats fine John but very few of us are running tubes with 5-7 figures of plate dissipation! Those that do can go to the CB forums for Care and Feeding data! Carl KM1H ________________________________
