21. [Amps] RE: The Great Equalizer (score: 1)

You guys are being a little unfair by thinking Alex does not like Ham radio. The ARRL's FCC report says Alex was called on the carpet by the FCC for operating on 20 meters with a technician class li

On 60Hz the EBM fan specified for that unit is fast enough to keep even the glass below 200C at rated dissipation, but only with the cover on. By the way, it is permissible to allow the envelope awa

Why would it? There isn't a significant change in pressure or flow no matter which side it is on. An airplane propeller is an entirely different situation than an amplifier. 73, Tom W8JI W8JI@contes

It is really very simple. The market drives it firmly in that direction. The single largest complaint by far is amplifier noise. It dwarfs all other complaints, and nothing can be "too quiet". Build

This has already been answered. Temperature has a small effect on air volume because the density of a free volume of gas is proportional to the absolute temperate, not the fahrenheit or celsius scal

3000V was never a standard primary line voltage. In the 50's there was 2200, in the 60's 4160V, and now virtually all are over 7200V. I'd run 5 or 10 volts into the 120 volt winding and measure the

Someday when I have time I will put some amplifier stuff up on my web page, and testing chokes should be one of the more useful things. The gaps are there because those areas were "hot spots" where

Since parasitics don't cause tube problems, as a general rule, and especially since the stock 922 is stable, that change should make no difference. There are an abnormal amount of grid -filaments oc

Whenever capacitors are changed, equalizing resistors should be tested. The dividing resistance should be tested AFTER the wiring is completed, because it is easy to damage many resistor types. You

In a series circuit, one fuse or one resistor is enough. One at the each component would do absolutely no good at all. The real problem with this suggestion, however, is that peak current in a capac

It always takes more than a quick pulse of back EMF to blow a fuse. Even fast-acting low-current fuses require many cycles of 60Hz energy to fail, unless the overload is dozens of times the operatin

David, I do have two programs that use constant current characteristics to calculate dissipation. They essentially agree with that, but of course HV, minimum anode voltage, and other parameters move

There certainly is an effect, but it is small in the 8877. Virtually all of the dissipation in the control grid is caused by the kinetic energy of electrons striking the grid, just as occurs in the

Leaving things out that are needed, like heavy resistor swamping of the input or a lowpass tuned input, is just as poor design as overcomplicating a system to the point where the solution creates mo

Hmmm. If it is a crock of what he says, then the gas regulator must have low elasticity or the internal pressure buildup is too great. Fewer dinners at Del Taco will help. Why all the attention anyw

I'm not so sure you looked all that carefully. Would you say it is "well built" without a control grid current meter to monitor the grid current? What about cathode matching? The 4CX250 is not that
