Take a better photo of it. It looks cooked...

That's some scary sheet! I am thankful, those events are scarce in my part of the woods. Glad to hear you made it through.

I know for a fact there is more than one 11111 guy. There is one in NY metro doing it too, who is a copycat. I have heard the assclowns on 383 myself. Must have been a short skip day. 73, SuperLid

Most likely yeah.

Get a good balun from balun designs.

13V Zener and a silicon rectifier like 4000 series.

Now that I look at your photo a bit harder, the parasitic suppressor looks like it may be cooked. It is a bit blurry in the field of vision of the choke though.

He is actively trying to sell the company. I think Ameritron and Hy-Gain would be of interest to someone, but one never knows if it will happen. I am going to order parts for some antennas and my Ameritron junk that they screwed up, before I can't.

I took it as busted/broke.

If you want to replace it, now is the time, as the state of available parts from Ameritron is unknown now, that their future is in question.

The coil was red hot at some point. The silver plating is oxidized, I would leave it alone.

My lifetime buy of 2SC1969/CB-20W's is going to outlive me. It is time to move them on to others that need them. I am in the process of sorting the gain ranges in increments of 10, from HFE 70-80 through 130-140. I can match multiple devices HFE for you. These are the ones that work, not eBay...

I have quality issues with the AL-1500 and ATR-30. The idiot at Ameritron tech support would be better suited slinging burgers and fries somewhere. They were not professional in their responses to the issues. I hope a real company absorbs Ameritron and Hy-Gain. MFJ....buhbyebye bye.

My most recent dealings with them, have been very frustrating. High dollar items, quality issues, tech support issues and gave up. I am not going to miss them much.

I hope someone acquires Ameritron and Hy-Gain, that can build with some quality.

I know that the 98VHP is the one that will go first. Seems like that is the one most people want that can't be bought anymore.

Reasonable offers will be entertained!

Get your hands on a spectrum analyzer and have a look at the spectral purity. At that point, we should discuss it. Since we are talking about an unknown quantity, perhaps it is your other super high power radios that are dirty, that your speakers like. Maybe because your RF energy is going to...

I tested QT-40 and QT-60 for spurious. Both were well within acceptable FCC limits.

RFI into computer speakers, does not mean the TX is spurious. It means your speakers are susceptible to RFI, due to rectification. Without a spectrum analyzer, you can't claim the TX is spurious.
