[Amps] Plate Choke

[zl1aih@ihug.co.nz]

Alex said - ". Another forgotten solution is to
place the feed choke at the 50 ohms end of the pi network. With 50 ohms in
parallel the Q is lowered so much as to become insignificant and the
frequency covered without series resonances is broadened accordingly"

The JRC Model JRS-501K transmitter places the feed choke at the 50 ohms 
end of a pi-L network - frequency range 1.6 mHz to 29.999 mHz continuous, 
auto-tune, 5kW output.   Having 5.5kV across both C1 and C2 is a small 
price to pay for continuous coverage.   The blocking cap is 2500pF at 20kV. 
There is a large red notice on the door warning of 5.5 kV as far as the 
directional coupler.
Hopefully, when I have converted this unit to single-phase operation at legal 
limit, (not a trivial exercise, <G>) I'll post the results to the reflector.
