I was just looking for Ameritron mods and seen this video.
A few things dont make sense to me.
Supposedly its putting out 3000w and he's putting 200w into a 3cx1500 :oops:

When he hits the foot switch right at the starting point I indexed the video at 32:31, with no drive, the grid current goes up to 20ma, that dont make sense.
Then he hollers into the mic with the radio keyed and it only shows 500ma of plate current at 3000w?
Then he puts 350w into it?

I'm just lost. Anyone else?

to top it off after bagging on it for 10 minutes he just shuts it off screaming hot without letting the fan cool the tube down for a few minutes first.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes

    Wes, it's better if you start a thread on the main forum, more people are going to see your question.
  • @ heartbreaker3473:
    Okay, sorry, will put in a forum
