Hi,
I am going to modify my junkbox AL80 to use the Russian GI7B microwave
triode. I've seen the W4EMF conversion page for the gla-1000. I believe the
AL80 tank components have enough range to cover 160-10, with slight
modifications. I'll be happy w/500 - 600w out.
I'd like to run this on 6m also. Rather than modify the bandswitch and tank, I
was thinking of putting a vacuum relay on the
output, and switch in a completely different tank and output connector for 6m.
In addition, I'd put a relay-switched tuned input for 6.
My question is: Is this crazy? Has anyone done it before? Probably my
biggest challenge will be finding room for the 6m tank. Should I ground the
HF Tank circuit when on 6, or leave it floating?
TIA & 73,
Gerry, W1VE
