An input circuit for any single band shouldn't be the least bit difficult to match to the tubes. I'd sure look into the existing input circuit as it's not at all right with that kind of high VSWR. Putting a resistor on the cathode side, even if you find a value that helps, will just be a bandaid. For all you know, the cathode side may already be too LOW impedance. You really need to get into that input tank and find out why it's not doing its job. 73, Steve K0XP -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/ampsfaq.html Submissions: amps@contesting.com Administrative requests: amps-REQUEST@contesting.com Problems: owner-amps@contesting.com Search: http://www.contesting.com/km9p/search.htm |
