181. [Amps] Alpha 77Dx Filament Mod (Epilougue) (score: 1)

Just received my new 8877 and thought I would share with the group the final outcome of my results. Recall in prior postings that my intent for the Alpha 77Dx modification was to: (1) un-ground the f

Like their RG-8M class of cable they've sold since ca. 1981? I just conducted a search and they still sell it -- only it seems to be limited to a 10-foot jumper cable product rather than large spool

I think the importance VSWR in HF multiband operation lies somewhere in between extreme views. I need to know three things before I become worried about VSWR: (1) line characteristic Z; (2); the mat

Agreed, Jim. But I would take exception to "power at any point on a transmission line." Part of the problem as I see it stems from viewing reflected power as a "thing" that reflects. Reflected power

VSWR in broadcasting applications is especially a concern when complex modulation schemes are used. FM stereophonic separation is highly dependent on line VSWR. Line reflections degrade stereo perfo

Same here. For low/medium power, I'm using crimped silver-plated BNC connectors from either Amphenol or RF Industries. I've also standardized on RG-400 for all station interconnect cables less than

As I recall, some of the old Henry amps used chassis ground as a neutral as well. On the Alpha 70 and 77 series, the fix to the amp is easy and doesn't even require turning a single cabinet screw. N

Jim, Back in the early '90s, I serviced the bearings on a 77Dx blower. It was not difficult and as I recall, it uses a standard bearing. I purchased mine through a local industrial bearing supplier

That's a problem and needs correction. It wasn't a safe design practice in 1955 and it's just as much a safety concern in 2009. Here's why: If the current-carrying neutral+ground lead faults with a

Excellent advice. It's been a while since I've reviewed that section of the NEC, but I suspect over-sizing the wire size is fine, but I would never oversize the breaker current rating, nor would I o

Upgrading the breaker to 20A is not an issue with 12/2 w/Ground since it's rated for 120VAC/20A service. Myself, I would then upgrade the receptacle to one rated for 20A. The question is whether or

Right, as long as only the wiring is "super-sized" in that application But to Carl's point, if the 240VAC demand is > 20A, then pricing of 30A material goes up on a seemingly exponential curve. When
