Correction, sorry. Opamp U2A adds x2.5 gain so nominal current in the heaters will give ~+5V at FIL_MON. D25 prevents it going -ve and D24 clamps the output at 5V, both presumably to protect whatever

It's been a game of musical chairs. The old NXP product line (BLF... etc.) has been floated off separately as Ampleon, centred on the original Philips RF factory at Nijmegan. They have some new produ

I do agree on the interfaces being extremely important, and the most important one is that between the FET and the spreader. Soldering the FET to the spreader is essential when the application has h

Can't see why not with a bit of effort and ingenuity, and looks well worth the effort. The same people list 'liquid chill plates' under the 'heat sinks' category. These look remarkably similar to one

I guess the factory probably has a supply of chilled water at pressure to make life easier. If I've got my sums right, with perfect heat transfer, around 240ml/min should be sufficient. OK, in realit

What effects/damage are you seeing? Does it always happen in the same place? Can you run the amp with reduced plate voltage? That might show up whether it's a marginal effect where rf on top of dc is

I think Manfred has a point - where the harmonics aren't going into a load and are being 'reflected' by the harmonic filter, I think the phase between fundamental and harmonics matters. The right rel

I believe, in transmitters of this type, that the modules aren't combined in the same way we're used to in the likes of Quadra, PW-1 or SPE type amps - in the AM txs I think it's more like the module

You're absolutely right, Dave. I found my manual which is for TW500M not TW500A. The TW500M is a 12V mobile amp and appears to be identical to Metron 1000B apart from the front panel badge. My apolog

As you were - a direct email from Emile says that his TW500A uses 12V transistors and is not simply half a TW1000A. Steve I found a manual for Metron 100B on the BAMA site - apart from the brand name

The -30dB figure in the report is dB reference pep. Take 6dB off to get dBc so it's -24dBc. That's lousy. Steve This is not correct. More like -30 dB for the new K3S and -27 dB for the older K3, acco

That sounds totally wrong to me. The rf needs to go onto the common point of the cathode and filament (or heater as I prefer to call it where there's a separate cathode). As long as the heater supply
