hey guys
I got 2 easy questions for the group!
in my home-brew amp the ant load is a vac VAR cap and i want to
Know which way you turn the counter to go to min cap?
IM thinking CCW .
on all bands the load control tunes up about mid way ..
160 thur 20 all but 75 meters .... " never use 10 "
for some reason 75 tunes totally CCW and you can feel the
Caps drive unlock and the counter is below zero!
right about unlock is where its tuned and it doesn't feel like its tuned
Just right, IM running out of adjustment right as it gets there.
i think the cap is a 20 to 2000 without opening it up and a groth
counter
Question 2 is do I need a lower value cap or is something else off?
3-1000z / B/W 852 band switch / B/W 800 plate choke/
all the by pass caps in and around the tank are 001 doorknobs but
i have been planning to replace them with 1000uf 20kv doorknobs
yes its always done this since "birth" hi
now if CCW is really at Max cap then .......i may need more
But 160 loads good.
WONDER if the 75 meter tank coil tap is off?
