- I've been following the RTTY vs. tube seal temp thread with interest. It was mentioned that you can use the crayon to monitor the seals, but those are one-time use. What about a circuit such as the o

- ORIGINAL MESSAGE: REPLY: Excellent idea, if the components are available. I have used a temperature gun directly and it works great, if one can access the seals while the amp is operating. RF makes i

- The cat's meow on this kind of thing is a thermal image camera. Just like james bond. You can zoom in on a specific feature and profile the spot pretty precisily. There's a few pics on my qrz page of

- Hi Larry, There are a couple manufacturers (names escape from my moldy old mind this afternoon) making complete sensors, with lenses and signal processing, in a transistor sized case covering up to 3

- You can probably use the pyroelectric detector from a junked IR movement detector use in burglar alarms. They are quite sensitive and you can use very simple optics, if needed, to measure temperature

- Hi Alex, Those parts won't suffice in this application. They work by summing the signal across multiple (2 or more) areas of the chip and don't produce an absolute output; Essentially an AC device. 7

- Ok, Lets start with the optics. First of all a simple lense will no do due to the fact that most lenses do not pass infrared very well. The best means of focusing to a point source would be a first s

- Guys, I saw one of the Acom 2000 on the bench of a buddy once. That thing has some sensors in the tube exhaust. It scales up the fan speed based on the temp so the fan only runs at a speed as needed.
