They will certainly arc if the operator is improperly loaded <G>. However if the amplifier is underloaded, voltage in the output "tank" will increase. The "limit" for underloading is operating into a

The slope of the line represents the transfer characteristic. In the region where where the line is straight, the transfer characteristic is constant and amplification is linear therein. Correctomund

If that is true, it is impossible to design a "clean" amplifier around the 3-500Z. A simple examination of the constant current curves for grounded grid operation shows that the constant current line

It can be proven beyond a doubt if it is possible to get a VHF arc in any amplifier. It only takes a little logical thinking, and a little test equipment to measure voltage levels through the system

Depends on whether the Tune-C or the bandswitch has the lower BDV. If the Tune-C arcs at 3600v and the bandswitch arcs at 5000v (SB-220), the Tune-C protects the bandswitch. R L MEASURES, AG6K. 805-3

I was looking at this earlier this evening. The load line is just a straight line approximation based on a couple of points. The actual transfer curve (Eb vs Eg) will depend on the slope and spacing

I'm not sure how other companies do it, but looking at various operating conditions was standard practice for Heath and early Ameritron. I guess the answer is how many time-consuming homework assign

Is it worth mentioning that the 'tune then back off peak Ia' achieves the same (or very similar) end result as tuning for maximum Po, then increasing the loading a little bit which many folks practic

Gary, you make the same mistake Rich does ... the voltage is not necessarily due to parasitic oscillation at VHF frequencies. An unloaded tank can generate voltages several times that of the applied

Not a sound wager. Can an unloaded tank reach potentials higher than the breakdown voltage of its Tune C? grasping straws? The problem in this case is that a HF/MF low-pass Pi-network tank rejects VH

When we can't possibly know every circumstance in the world, never couldn't apply. Besides, VHF starts at 30 MHz. An oscillation at 30MHz in a tank resonant near ten meters could be a problem since
