Anybody know how to make an SB-1000 tune properly on 160?  Ok on other bands but doesn't like 160, dummy load or well tuned Inv.L.   Is it a quirk of the amp needing a modification or possibly a bad

Jim, If I remember correctly placing an additional transmitting type cap across the units load cap did the job. Don't remember the value I used. My guess 100 or 200 PF. I used a cap I had in the junk

Jim, To get closer to the needed value of the additional transmitting cap I would try to find out the max value of the load cap that came with the amp. Halve the value and that's what I would install

SOmetimes many amps require additional padding on 160m Add another 200pf to what is already there for 160. It is necessary to put a brass washer around the contact on the wafer that adds in the paddi
