    Smith chart and amplifier input/output tuning.

    What value metal clads are standard for HG 2sc2879 16D08. My box had Toshiba in it before and had 1000 pf. Should they be a different value? Like 1200pf.

    Smith chart and amplifier input/output tuning.

    I managed to get this job completed. Photos is completed results. Turns out I was chasing a bad coax and meter. Go figure. Probably what popped the pills originally. But my goal is to understand how to do input/output tuning. On amplifiers of this design.

    Smith chart and amplifier input/output tuning.

    It’s a XForce straight 10 pill. That burned completely up. I replaced all the pills from Toshiba 2879 red dot with hg 2879 16DO8 matched. Tested all the caps replaced one bad one on an output transformer. New mini coax, new 5 Port combiners/splitters. All new resistors throughout. All matched. I...

    Smith chart and amplifier input/output tuning.

    Anyone have a good reliable smith chart program download link? And some expertise on input output tuning amplifier. Can you use an antenna tuner on the amplifier input to verify 50ml input? Amp on and manually key the amp?

    6JB6 tube amp driving 10 pill hg 2879 bouncing swr

    Wouldn’t the SWR swinging still be happening while running the tube type by itself?

    6JB6 tube amp driving 10 pill hg 2879 bouncing swr

    Don’t have a dummy load that will handle 1.5 KW. To find out. But just changing it from a tube type driver to a solid state stopped the bouncing fluctuation. My problem is solved but just trying to understand why a tube amp driving a solid state would cause that issue.

    6JB6 tube amp driving 10 pill hg 2879 bouncing swr

    Strange swr behavior resolved. Galaxy 2547 dead key .75 watts 4 tube 6jb6 driving x-force 10 pill. Anytime I turned the dead key up past a 200 watt my swr would go from 1.2 steady to bouncing erratically all the way to 3. Some research pointed me toward a bad connection on my coax or arching...

    11 meter ground plane home brewing

    Considering building a 5/8 wave ground plane for my base. If using a gamma match to feed a ground plane antenna would the radials and verticals be electrically common?

    Mean well LRS-600-12

    Thanks Linearone. I’m going to need like 4 of these to power my amp. $520 for the megawatt is a bit high. Mouser sells the mean well for about $60. Mouser is a vary well known supplier. https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/MEAN-WELL/LRS-600-12?qs=Znm5pLBrcAKdbBr%2FwUxVsA%3D%3D I guess I’ll...

    I read one thread on here which lead me to mean well. Not sure which thread I found it on. I’ll try to find it. I think the Chinese knock offs are poor copies of the mean well supply. The link talks about this. I will try to find the thread I read it on...
