I'll go peruse the archives again but I'm going to post this here anyway. I noticed while on 20m tonight running about a kw that the tank coil was getting HOT, one of the wires connected to it (the 2

Chuck, If the tank coil is copper tubing I come up with a way of cooling them if you have a pressureized chassis by a blower. What you do is take a piece of teflon rod or something similar that's RF

N4700 is not designed for tuned circuits, it's for coupling and bypassing. N750 and NP&Oslash; are for tuned circuits. Cheers, Chuck R L MEASURES, AG6K. 805-386-3734 r@somis.org _____________________

bypassing. < Figure that you can have 10 or 20 amps of RF running through that cap, so you can easily get a fair amount of dissipation in it. The application needs an NP0 cap. 73 Peter G3RZP - will b

The current carrying capacity does not correlate well with voltage or capacity in question. It would also be wise to parallel several caps rather than having one cap carry all current. You might be s

If you don't disconnect the parallel fixed padder across the C2 in the Pi-network on 14 MHz, you may end up in serious heating trouble, as well as using a very unsuitable operating point for the PA t

Hi Chuck, I looked at your photos (nice work!) and it appears that you are using a piece of Airdux with perhaps #12 size conductor. That is a mite small for 20 meters. I'd suggest upsizing the 20 met

I agree, multiple parallel NPO caps may do the trick. Here's a useful link. http://www.mgs4u.com/RF-Microwave/doorknob-capacitors.htm _________________________________________________________________

Karl-Arne's right. I didn't look at the schematic and photos until now. The only time we ever paralelled two and left them permenantly connected was for a mono-band amp. We used to use two air variab
