I would think where jay and steve test their antennas which is out in the mojave desert would be the best plate to do testing against other antennas.No trees or obstructions and poor ground conductivity.
There are a couple of locals that run the vector antenna my i-25k not only out performs them on transmit but their antennas also have interference problems.which mine does not.This is with equal power to what ever they are running.And yes im in a great location but some of the stations we...
grid driven can i see a pic of the bottom of the tube socket.I think you may be fibbing.Dont you know 44 in the desert.
I have a grid driven tetrode and know whatthey are all about.I have yet to see another setup on 11 meters.
But to go on for days about this type of topic lol.
Sure some guys out here have some knowledge.But the guys who know alot more usually wont associate with cb people.
Im talking about the kind of guys that can figure out values for circuits or whatever off the top of their head real...
I havent used my peak kit in over 6 years.My box swing foward i wouldnt talk if it swung backwards.
ralph make another video make sure you show the right side of the bird meter and also show the plate current meter while you talk.
A peak meter will swing foward even if your rms meter...
shock is it just me or is there no output choke.
Also take a good look at the plate transformer looks kinda small how many kva do you think its is.
If theres no output choke who ever buys it better not touch the coax when its on just in case lol.
Some day one of his boxes will kill...
wizard
Well first off i must say i agree with everything donald has said.And i must point out that wizard always uses a bird 43p with a peak kit when he tests his amplifiers. Acording to ralph aka wizard when i talked to him over the phone the bird 43 is should never hold a certain power level...
im curious why do you say the 3cx3000 is poorly designed.The layout was designed by the same engineer who designed almost all of the henry amps.
His name is dennis and he lives in georgia.The only thing i did was add extra capacitence to the load tuner and a vacuum output relay.Atleast in...
back swing
I kid you not acording to ralph aka wizard theres no way to get an amplifier to key and hold a given power level when modulated on am let alone swing foward on a rms bird 43 meter.
Acording to him every amplifier should swing backwards thats why bird invented the peak kit.
lol...
