I have a vague memory that the 3CX800 grid and 4CX250 screen are the same diameter - or close enough that a screen connector from a '250 socket will fit, for a low cost option. Steve ________________

I think the underlying point is that IMDs add together as voltages not powers so you have to work back to the levels in Volts, not power, in order to can see the relative contributions and the total

For hi-rel and space applications double soldering is done where there's gold in the mix. Above a certain concentration gold and solder can go brittle with time and/or heat - I've seen it in old soli

Manfred has said most of what I was going to say. I'd add a couple more comments. RF power fets don't have quite the uniformity of characteristics that switching fets have. In particular, threshold v

I haven't seen QST but have built some 1kW amps using the current crop of LDMOS transistors - several for 144MHz, 50odd for 200MHz pulsed applications. 27dB gain - yes, that's what you get. I haven't

Yes, I should have added that. I agree, 750-800W pep max for reasonable linear operation. Steve I would add that the IMD is not great and would ask people to use it at 800w max , but I'm sure I won't

Have they changed the resistors to ones properly rated for the job? It's certainly an efficient spares service, but a shame they designed something with a fundamental flaw built in. Steve A friend's

Various thoughts, in no particular order. Typically, the secondary gives 2.2-2.5kV across the caps with FWB. I've played with a handful of them. Hipot testing the secondary with the wire to the frame

Doubling up does solve the flux problem, but means a lot of resistance - MOTs usually start with high Rs for their rating. More transformers in parallel can compensate so size is then the downside. N

You can't have too much heatsink, only too little - same as with airflow for big valves. Even a large heatsink is useless if the thermal contact between it and the spreader is no good. Concentrate on

Thanks for the info. Paul, very interesting. The supply voltage drops from 40odd to 30odd volts with power reduction so I'm guessing the current drops 20% or so, with dissipation roughly halving. Ste

Power meters measure RMS current and RMS voltage. But Watts RMS only equal V rms x I rms when the power factor is 1. For lower power factors you pay for Vrms x I rms which is greater than Wrms. Sorr
