You are right Joe. It was the SB200 that used the cutoff bias through the antenna relay scheme. 73, Gerald K5GW In a message dated 7/29/2009 8:46:28 P.M. Central Daylight Time, lists@subich.com write

The Heath SB-220 used an rf choke to ground the grid, bypassed by 3 x 200 pf capacitors. Interestingly, the Drake L4 amplifier used an rf choke to ground the grid, bypassed by 3 x 200 pf capacitors.

In the SB-220, cutoff bias (during "receive" periods) of +130V is applied to the cathodes of the 3-500Zs via the center-tap of the filament transformer, thus placing the potential of the grounded con

How much does it vary from band to band? The idea is the higher in frequency you go the lower the impedance is due to the capacitor. At lower frequencies the capacitor has higher impedance but the im

Rich Measures claims that the grid bypass capacitors used in the SB 220 are series resonant at or near the parasitic frequency of the tubes and actually provide a lower impedance to ground than a pie

How then would you account for the reduced IM products of a tube operated in GG verses the same tube operated in a standard grid driven configuration? 73 Gary K4FMX _________________________________

It was claimed (here on AMPS a few years ago, if I recall correctly) that Heath came under heavy pressure from Eimac to use that capacitor-RFC circuit. Personally I agree with Joe that all the claime

One factor with GG is most of the drive is added to the power from the amplifier and is perhaps like adding some pure signal to the mixture of signal and distortion from the amplifier. -- Ron KA4INM

So there seems to be some difference of opinion as to whether the Heath SB-220 grid-grounding implementation actually suipplies negative feedback or not, actually reduces IMD components in the output

The un-bypassed emitter or cathode resistor is still causing NFB, the voltage developed across the resistor is out of phase with the input signal and in phase with the output voltage. That kind of NF
