    Still Need Help with my 6v6 driving 4- 807's

    I'm having trouble finding out what the capacitor values are on this old amp. I was told that it might be an Elkin, but in talking with Ray today, he made NO 807 powered amps. So back to square 1. This old guy has ceramic disc caps that are made with the CRL insignia, but no values labled on...

    Grounding Amp ???

    Grounding Amp ???

    Well I guess I'll ask..... Can someone tell me if my amplifier should be grounded to the grounding bar behind my radios as the rest of my eqpt. is ? Sounds like a dumb question, but I really can find no other posts that address this question. Thanks in advance! Joe

    FT-900 Negative Swing on AM ??

    Hi Mr Fatty, sounds exactly like what this rig is doing. I'm going to have the rig checked out and see what is really going on. It may just have a button that says AM. It really does nothing of the sort. I'll be posting, and thanks!

    FT-900 Negative Swing on AM ??

    Thanks Shokwave! I think we may find out why these rigs do this. I belive that they may do it right out of the box, new. I don't know. I'm just trying to find as much positive info as I can about this rig and any others that may do it. We may find a common factor and a final remidy. I'll post...

    FT-900 Negative Swing on AM ??

    Not quite sure what you are getting at???? Are you saying that I did something, anything to the inside of my radio?? If so where are you getting that from??? I have done noting to the inside of my radio. Nothing! So keep your opinions of how or why my radio is the way that it is. Have you ever...

    FT-900 Negative Swing on AM ??

    Well, Now we might be getting somewhere! The very same rig (FT900AT). Please, if you can, take some time and see if it really is sending a backward swinging signal to another radio. Post what you find. And thanks a million! 73 Joe K0TRT jwhawg

    15 meters open here today

    Ah Man! QRT? hope not for long. I was qrt for about 5 years here until last year about this time. Re-setting up is not fun, but new chalenges with new tower location and instalations, grounds, 2700ft of radial wires under the ground mounted vetical, etc. Still way fun for me. Nice on the map...

    FT-900 Negative Swing on AM ??

    Was wondering if you had transmitted on am with your 746? Just curious as to seeing if it also swings backward to receiving stations?

    FT-900 Negative Swing on AM ??

    Yes it does swing backwards on a bird peak reader. And every other I have tried. I was also hoping that it was just a meter action, or reaction, but I send a negatively swinging signal to other receiving radios. Staions say I have great audio, but swing from say s-9 back to s-7 or whatever.

    FT-900 Negative Swing on AM ??

    Well thanks for going over it with me. Sometimes another brain involved is enough to figure out most stuff. I hope this problem looks familliar to someone. I'll keep trying. May need to find an old BA for am I guess. Anyway, have a good day and 73, Joe K0TRT jwhawg

    FT-900 Negative Swing on AM ??

    No. It puts out 40w with the rf power up all the way. I think it's only suposed to do only 25w on am, rf power adjustment all the way up. I can adjust it down to 25-30w, but that's with thr rf power at about half. On side band it does it's rated 85-100w. But the fact remains, even with power...

    FT-900 Negative Swing on AM ??

    It puts out 40watts dead key with NO audio input what so ever. Any audio input at all, no matter how minute will cause a reverse swing on any watt meter I have tried. My swamping theory is wrong because even with the rf power turned all the way down (5watts) it still does it. It does it with the...

    FT-900 Negative Swing on AM ??

    Yep. 1.2 to 1 on most of my antennas. But here is something..... This rig puts out a heck of a lot more that 25 watts on am. Somewhere around 40 watts. I think I'm onto something. This thing is probably "swamping" the audio.
