I've just got dragged in to trying to fix an amp which is a 'chinese' copy
of the ICD design, and which won't tune nicely. What supply voltage and
power do you run at?

My initial look came up with two points - the Cout of the tube imposes quite
a high network loaded Q and the physically large loading cap used in the one
I'm going to try and fix is probably above self resonance at 50MHz, and
acting as a variable shunt inductor.

When I get it on the bench, I'll report on what the network analyser
indicates.

Chris - if you have the gear, put 2k2 from anode to ground and sweep the
aerial input to see where it's doing the matching.

Thanks,

Steve
