Thanks, Leigh. If nothing else, those books emphasize the importance of a soft-start circuit. Evidently, it's the *change* in temperature that affects the life. If holding the temp constant at those

Absolutely it is an illusion. IIRC, that was erroneously introduced into textbooks around 1970 the same time as the "electricity flows from positive to negative" nonsense. Whoever came up with the la

I appreciate all the replies to my comment about the direction of current flow (which I have ALWAYS thought of as the direction that electrons flow). My comments below. Ben Franklin had a 50-50 chanc

I have never heard it explained any other way! At least not until this thread. I agree with W6WRT. Heated objects --like cathode filaments-- emit electrons. I have always understood that the flow of

Thanks, Vic. Someone else (in a private e-mail) just suggested line voltage. I do monitor the filament voltage, but I should monitor the 240 VAC and look at the HV meter, too. There is a "too-long" r

That's generally true, Bill. But according to Fair-rite, the multi-aperture feature increases the bandwidth vs. a single hole. Whether or not 73 material is suitable, another material molded into a b

Are we looking at the same amp? It looks like my output loading cap in my legal-limit amp, and it's never arced even into a high SWR. The output loading capacitor only has to handle about 300 volts.

Carl, do you mean this web site: http://pa0fri.home.xs4all.nl/Lineairs/SB200/sb200eng.htm A few years ago, I actually did some mods based on that. Not all of them, but I did do one or two changes to

The GI7-BT mod is the way to go in the absence of good 572Bs. But the thought occurred to me that it might be a lot of fun to replace the 572Bs in my SB-200 with a pair of 813s. It looks like they mi

Not recommended for GG on ANY band.. Not enough gain, for one thing; it would take several hundred watts of drive power to obtain the legal limit. Another issue is that the feedback capacitance is qu

Yup, that's the main problem, Bill. Well, a single 833A won't do the legal limit without pushing the envelope. And the trouble with P-P is that the old parallel-tuned link coupled output circuit does
