I have been lurking for a while here... I need a 2nd amp for SO2R Contesting -
my current amp is the Ameritron AL1200 -
I have been salting away 4-1000 parts over the last 40 years and decided to HB
amp#2
The power supply is a remote unit with ambilical to desk top amp deck. Has
variac input 220v, P dahl xfmr and home grown chasis/box on wheels
My questrion is since the 4-1000 uses 7.5 fil at 21 amps - I want to switch
resistors to the fil to yield 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 voltage and finally full fil
voltage....
my calc's=
P=IE=7.5*21=157W FIL SIDE
I=157/120=1.4 AMP PRIMARY SIDE [ROUNDING UP]
SO for
3/4V=30V/1.4I =23 OHMS
1/2V = 46 OHMS
1/4V =69 OHMS
IS my calculations about right???
