    Convert 10m ham for LEGAL CB power level use?

    A converted 10m rig is not type approved for cb use so just run the power it is designed for with a good swr and you will be right as long as you don't thrash the duty cycle of the rig. If you are a rag chewer then get yourself something with adjustable output and knock it back a notch or two to...

    EPT3600-10A Antique RCi/Galaxy Saturn(non Turbo)

    Sorry Lenny I mis read your post, I missed the fact that you could not find the data sheet, (minor brain fart on my behalf). What was the info that rci gave you?. I am not sure what mod you are trying to achieve. (is it a display color mod?)

    EPT3600-10A Antique RCi/Galaxy Saturn(non Turbo)

    Sorry what is the question? You state that the data sheet is to old for the transistor in question??? Mate data sheets don't change!!! If you can't read and understand the information given then I suggest that you should give it to a decent tech to do what ever mod you are trying to achieve

    Resonating coax

    Sounds like he is making a tuning stub, the only prob I can see is that if he is leaving an open end of a 1/4 wave stub then it will act like a wave trap. I use this method to cure TVI. If he adjusted then shorted the other end then it would act like a tuning stub manipulating the impedance
