Future of ETO amps

ETO amps are favored by many contesters around the world. With the recent
aquisition of ETO by a non-amateur related corporation, I'm wondering if
any contesters have any solid indications or information as to whether
ETO intends to remain in the amateur amplifier market over the long-haul?

--------------------
I disagree completely on the electrical issues (driving impedence, grid
metering, improper plate circuit Q on some bands) and disagree in principle
on the cooling issues.
The ONLY difference electrically is the plate dissipation. 300 watts for
the 8875 and 400 watts for the 8874, which is solely due to the
effectiveness of the heatsink. Electrically they are interchangeable.
Mechanically the 8874 is smaller than the 8875 so should fit the available
space. Then the only issue is the modifications required to cool the 8874.
I don't have one of the amps to look at, but it should (in theory) be
possible to add chimneys from the top of the anodes to the top of the case
(I think the 8875s were mounted vertically). Then the only thing required
is a fan that pulls the air up through the tubes and out the top of the
case. All of those vent holes provide lots of air INPUT area. Muffin fans
do not work well into back pressure, but in this mode where the fan is
pulling through the tube it may work adequately--at least well enough to get
the 300 watts dissipation of the 8875 from the 8874. If the top of the case
is "full of holes" it is possible to mount a square of thin brass the size
of the fan on the underside of the cover, to which the chimneys are attached
to short sections of tubing the diameter of the tubes and located directly
over the tops, which have been soldered to the flat brass. A plenum may be
required on the top of the cover for the fan to be located above the cover
with enough space to allow it to "pull" with full force. (Locating it
directly on the cover might reduce the suction due to turbulence from the
proximity of the tiny holes.) I would probably go for a larger fan than the
standard 4" muffin. Something more like a 6" one. Seems like the 8875s
were mounted very closely to the back of the case, making it more difficult
to mount the larger fan directly over the tubes. This may push one even
more towards the plenum concept, with the fan offset somewhat from the
position directly above the tubes. Probably ought to space it an inch or so
above the cover. Anode temperature is the key issue. Don't know where to
get tempelaq (sp? they say spelling is the second thing to go)
(temperature sensitive laquer that turns color upon reaching a certain temp.
Handy to paint on the anodes to see if they exceed the "turning" temp of
the particular paint used.
(A word is worth a millipicture. Hope this makes enough sense to
extrapolate to the actual amp in question.)
The type of chimneys needed can be fashioned from high temp silicone rubber
sheet the way ETO does it in their amps. If the cabinet top can be modified
(you aren't worried about resale value are you?) then the mechanical mods
should be even easier.
Reminds me very much of all of the fans that I mounted on top of my old
Collins S-line transmitters to keep them cool during the early K0RF contest
operations. They were all held on with cable lacing string tied to the
holes in the top lids in order to eliminate the need for any mods to the case.
Hope this is useful. 73 John W0UN
BTW You might want to confirm that the tube sockets allow some air to flow
around them in order to make sure there is enough air flow to keep the base
end of the tube cool. I would guess that the proposed mod would provide
better air flow than the original design, not worse.

Okay... if you meet the following two criteria, please consider joining
the "First Timer" CW sprint team:
1. You have never operated the CW Sprint before (except for maybe a few
QSOs here and there).
2. You like to put things off to the last minute.
So, it IS the last minute as the sprint happens tomorrow at 0Z!!
If you would like to join a group of nine others who are in the same
situation, then let me know via return message to tree at cmicro.com.
The winner of this team gets a certificate, and the whole team will be
listed in the results!!
Thanks for your support.

PS: For those of you who haven't heard, I will be at TI1C for the ARRL DX
CW contest, single op all band. I should be active several days before
the contest as TI4CF concentrating on the low bands.

With all due respect, Charlie, and I think there are such things as
"direct-hit-lighting-suppressors". Go visit your local TV station
and ask them if they unplug all their feedlines during stormy
weather. They broadcast right through the storms while taking direct
hits to their towers.
I don't pretend to expect this kind of protection with my shoestring
budget, pea-shooter station. However I sure as hell won't depend on
unplugging and throwing my feedlines out the window when I think
conditions are dangerous if I can arrange a better alternative.
For my new station my feedlines, AC distribution, phone lines,
antenna switch lines, EVERYTHING will going to go via the most serious
ground window connected to the biggest collection of bonded ground rods I
can create. So if the lightning doesn't cooperate in regards to its
route I can't say I didn't try to arrange the best place for it.
Whether the ground window is inside or outside my (wooden) shack
seems laughably irrelevant when millions of volts are involved. But
I've settled on an outside location with the feedlines passing down
close to the ground and then back up to the suppressors as a tribute
to the gods of superstition (going to direct that lightning right
down into the dirt, yep).
Today I have been a Ham exactly one year, so you and most of the
other reflector members have a great deal more experience and I really
hesitate to speak out on any subject where I don't have at least an
illusion of empirical data. However my house and shack are just
below the crest of a ridge and from time to time I live through
"artillery barrage" style lightning storms. There is a 60 foot
vertical "tatoo" on one of my Poplar trees, for example. I
simply can't be comfortable with less than a serious effort in
this department, within the limits of my budget. When I'm done
I'll have two thirds of the cost of my (albeit cheap) transceiver
sunk into a ground and suppressor system and my wife is going to be
quite angry when the next VISA statement comes. But in my humble
opinion, its worth it.
Oh, the house service panel will shortly have an MOV unit the size
of a hocky puck as a first line of defense for the wiring and major
appliances. All the electronics in the house, cable and phones
already have MOV protection at each site. When the Poplar got its
tatoo last year my electronics were unphased, while my next door
neighbor (much farther from the tree) got his TV smoked. I want
to believe that my past actions to prepare resulted in that difference.
For me it isn't "if" but "when".
(But I won't be pretending I'm a TV station. Prior to and during
storms the transceiver and tuner ports will be grounded!)

Thanks for the comments, Charlie.
Of course, I cannot totally eliminate the risk of lightning damage. But I
definitely worry less with my present setup - perhaps this is the bliss of
ignorance :)
I don't know the statistics on this, but I believe there are MANY more
damaging transients from NEARBY strikes that could take out SS devices than
there are direct strikes. I believe I have protected my station from these,
and also have eliminated any need for me to personally touch or even get
near the antenna conductors to disconnect them before or during a lightning
storm. My disconnect occurs automatically every time I switch off the master
power to the station - no getting up in the middle of the night and going
outside to disconnect something.
Perhaps I should also have explained in my initial comment that the metal
relay switching box definitely, firmly, and positively provides as
low-impedance path to ground for any transient on the line. So the actual
circuit is: The shield of all coax-fed dipoles are firmly grounded at a
junction box outside the house, and the center conductors of these have a
pretty short (maybe 1/16 inch) pointed gap to the same ground. The shield of
the coax going into the house is connected to this same ground, as is its
center conductor (I would prefer to have these isolated from the box, but
this isn't practical). At the other end of this line (at the rig) the shield
is firmly and positively grounded (before entering the rig). The rig is
connected to the coax, of course, and the rig is also separately grounded to
the same shack ground. If you analyse the system, you realize that you want
a VERY good ground at the outside box. I think I have this.
I don't worry about anything short of another direct strike. The one which
melted the wires I referred to earlier was the first I had ever had (been
stringing conductors in the air since 1951 - never a really tall tower,
though. My antennas are generally less than 70 feet high). One could hit me
tomorrow, but I honestly don't expect another direct strike in my lifetime.
And if a direct strike does hit, I will probably suffer much less damage in
the shack than the first time.
I have a friend here in town who, when a storm comes up, wraps his hand
around his PL239's and "plays Ben Franklin" for several seconds while he
disconnects each of them. His wife does this for him if he is not home.
Russian Roulette, anyone?
Do your family a favor, Charlie: Stay away from those bananna plugs on the
ladder line when there is a storm around.

|I do not agree that cushcraft antennas are not strong. Even the 40-m2. I know

|Eddy,
|The Cushcraft HF antennas are made out of the lightest materials of any HF
|antenna manufacturer here in the States. As far as the 40-2CD antennas
|surviving strong winds in your area, when you speed in your car, you don't
|always get a speeding ticket do you?
|Steve K7LXC
I have to agree with Steve. The 40-2CD is a superb antenna - electrically -
but the driven element on mine is already bent 10 degrees due to a Central
Texas squall line (still seems to work fine though). Looking back, I should
have incorporated the mechanical strengthening suggested by W6QHS and
others before putting it up. I would recommend those mods to any new users,
except in the easiest of environments. Too bad Cushcraft couldn't build
them in - then the 40-2CD would be a SPECTACULAR antenna!

Subject: QUICK HELP ON ICOM SETUP IN TR LOGGING PROGRAM-PLEASE!
Message-ID: <Pine.SOL.3.91.960209190240.25167A-100000 at iglou>
Just received N6TR logging program. Having problem with com ports which
work fine with CT and NA. Nothing changing but the program! Here's the
problem on radio control. I've set up the logcfg.dat file as follows:
RADIO ONE BAUD RATE = 1200
RADIO ONE CONTROL PORT = SERIAL 2
RADIO ONE TYPE = IC781
Doesn't work. Manual says Icom & Tentec need another parameter:
RADIO ONE RECEIVER ADDRESS =
I entered: RADIO ONE RECEIVER ADDRESS = 26H
Then, I get an error message in trying to start the program citing that
line as the problem. My 781 tells me on the CRT screen that the default
address is 26H. CT and NA interface to it fine - no problem.
Would one of you 781 / TR users please tell me what .cfg you use???
Would like it working for Sprint tomorrow. Thanx!
P.S. I haven't spent much time on it, but it's also not reading my com 1
for packet interface. (Again - it works fine on CT and NA). I'm sure
it's no big deal, and this program certainly allows for some exciting
"super-tuning". Thanks again
