[Amps] New HF amplifier

[Dennis OConnor]

"Ah, that explains it."

Explains what, Carl?  That I have a Palstar explains something?! holy smokeezs

I also have a Commander built HF2500DX  - that I have had to resurrect a couple of times, and like you I know they are a pain to work on - but at least give me credit for being able to do my own work... 

I also have a couple of Henry's, a Dentron somewhere, an SB220, and a couple of homebrew's, along with a ragtag assortment of power tubes, vacuum caps, etc. the usual detritus of over a half century of playing with amps - including industrial experience maintaining RF amps from 10 KW to 100 KW (we had a row of those bad boys bringing the teeth on transmission gears from room temperature to 1000 degrees in mere seconds).. 

I miss your point...
The point that I raised is that having taps on a toroid in the tank circuit of an amp is poor engineering...  


oh yeah, and a TenTec Titan, I almost forgot about it - one sweet qsk rig with the Orion II...

cheers Carl,
