Many Henry RF generators on 27 or 14 MHz use a brass (?) slug within a
copper tube coil for inductance changing (as the turns counter
advances the slug within the coil the inductance reduces) and a rather
Heath Robinson variable capacitor using two brass plates, with a
Teflon insulation sheet between them. Now I realize they were not
intended to be frequency agile, so my question is, is there an
advantage to changing the strange looking variable cap for a vacuum
variable? Is the consensus of opinion that slug tuning the inductor is
fine and can be left as is? Thanks.
