i hooked it up in my mobile today with the truck running, right around 600 on am and 750 on sideband. I'm pretty happy with that, I didn't check voltage off the alternator, I imagine we're in 14-14.5 range. I will add the cap to keep ssb chatter down. thank you for all the help.

I reworked the rf detection circuit again, I had the capacitor backwards. I need to pay attention to my work. I put in a new 2222a, 1n4148, 22uf electorlytic cap and the 10 pf ceramic disk cap. now relays kick in when i key. before they would kick down when i turned it on. Now i need to work...

Ok i am having a new problem. I replaced some capacitors with 500 volt capacitors because i thought they blew. but when i turn on the linear receive is cut way back, people who are farther away i can no longer hear, what would cause this?

I am a man of my word, Here is the link to download the entire set of plans. I uploaded these to share with some friends awhile ago. 1. Paste this address in your web browser hxxp://www.megaupload.com/?d=OEYN38Q7 2. When the page open you will see a combination of letters and...

that was the problem, in the pictures i had it appeared both ends were to ground, I didn't think that was right, i unhooked one end of them and now it works. thanks

The only local that would of helped me with this project passed away a couple years ago. More than once during this build I thought about him and wished he was still around. I own his old house and am building the linear in his old shop. Guess him being here in spirit is as close as I will...

I know the soldering is not up to snuff misterfatty. I would appreciate any help you can give me, I thought that was the area of the circuit but wasnt positive. I will take that apart and redo it. ONe thing of note, that called for a 10pf capacitor, I didn't have a 10 pf and couldn't find one...

pictures Please excuse my ignorance, I am not 100 percent sure where the rf detection circuit is so i took a overview of the linear. Please let me know what sections you need close up of. Also don't mind some of the sub par soldering. I tried to build this with a 40 watt gun, I had to go...

Yes receive works perfectly when amp is turned on, the relays don't activate when i key, I till have my 5 watt output from the transceiver and can communicate and receive as well I as can with the amp not in line, Just does not boost output and relays do not kick in, I will take a picture and...

I just finished my 5 pill linear, I followed the instructions to a T, I would be more than willing to upload them or send them to anyone who maybe able to help me. or just donate to them site for anyone interested in the build. Anyway, on to my problem. First of all, I actually finished...

Thanks for the reply i do have the raider schem. I got looking at it and they had jumped a wire from the radio side of the relay to the socket on pin 5 of the final tubes. These three tubes are all wired together on pin 5 and also pin 9 goes off of those three each having their own resistor...

Hi, I recently picked one of these up and am looking for the modifications for it. Any help would be appreciated. I tried following the pdx-400 guide but it is quite a bit different. It has 4 6JG6 tubes in it. One driving three I believe. I can post pictures if necessary
