I rejoined this reflector yesterday precisely because I have a Dentron
GLA-1000A linear. Now apart from the SWR/Smith Chart stuff that is way over
my head, I get this message:
> My friend has lent me an old Dentron GLA-1000 amp. (Yea, I know, it
isn't what I would call much of an amp either but it is in like new
condition and he bought it cheep about 3 years ago and hasn't used it
since. Sort of a waste.)
Is this a general sentiment?
Mine uses four 6LQ6 / 6JE6C tubes. I have not used it much, but the tubes
seems to be rather flat, not putting out much power. I was thinking of
getting four new tubes but at 4 x $39 it becomes rather a lot given the
local exchange rate of 6 rands to the dollar (it comes to about 15% of my
salary!!) Should I rather look for something else?
> BUT, that they would not work on 10 meters due to the inter electrode
capacity
diferences...
Is this true? Mine was modified to work on 10m.
Any other suggestions?
