Hello Amp Guru's,
I have a question for the multitude. I have a perfectly functioning =
TL-922A. Recently, I have noticed a strange anomaly. Under keying =
condition, that is keyed up with no modulation, I am seeing about 270 mA =
of plate current (normal), but am showing approximately 10 mA of grid =
current. I cannot figure out why I am showing the small amount of grid =
current.
I have changed tubes between three different amps and three different =
sets of 3-500Z's and it happens with all tubes. I am sure the problem =
is in the amp. In addition, I have checked the shunt resistors in the =
grid circuit, and they all check good.
Also, the meter is perfectly functioning in the HV or RF position. The =
grid current aside, all is functioning properly.
Anyone have any ideas what may be bad or where to continue looking (Rich =
or Carl)?
Thanks,
Jeff Weinberg W8CQ
