Thanks for the help.
So Mr. Measures asked the following question as seen below. So I tune
up to find the answers. Mind you I just installed a vhf parasitic kit
today.
I now get decent output with no extra heat or filament glow. Tubes are
weak so take outputs with this in mind.
Input Swr 1.0:1
Plate amp. 0.6
Grid millamp 210
output swr 1.4:1
exciter watts 84
output 775 watts
Two conclusions. Its an intermitant problem or the parasitic kit
altered something.
Maybe human error but I doubt it. I tried tuning it up on two different
days. With the same low power out on both days.
Thanks
Peter
