I am in the process of adjusting the PI Network (inductor taps) on
this old 4 x 811A amp that I inherited and was wondering what
impedance I should terminate the PI network with when making my
adjustments? Per Orr's Radio Handbook, the plate Z of a single 811
at 1700V is 5200 Ohms. I am running around 1600 Volts across 4
811As. For my initial adjustments, I used a 1500 Ohms carbon resistor
across the tuning cap. Is this close enough? Should I include some
additional shunt C to simulate the tube capacitance?
Thanks,
Mike, W4EF.....................................
