Having used both gear-reduced stepper motors and rotary solenoids on a hard-to-turn band switch, I find the rotary solenoid is easier to implement, but the stepper motor solution is the more elegant

My instinct is that mineral oil would be a better coolant than distilled water, with no corrosion issues. You can buy it at any pharmacy, and while it isnt rated at quite as high a temperature as tra

Sounds like its been tweaked for CW operation. It shouldnt be hard to retune the inputs for a compromise at the middle of each band. So long as your transceiver can handle a 2:1 mismatch, there shoul

As an addendum to Pauls informative post, my own QSK circuit (QST June 2015, and http://www.w8zr.net/homebrew/) has a lock-on feature that keeps the amplifier locked on-line until RF from the exciter

Jim raises an issue which has troubled me lately, and that is whether the added expense and headaches required to build a bandswitched pi-L tank circuit is justified by the modest gain in harmonic at

Clearly theres an error in the schematic. So far as I can tell, the fuse should be in series with R10, the surge-limiting resistor. Its purpose is not to protect R10, but to protect the amplifier in

In my experience, UHF connectors, especially spices, often develop corrosion and intermittent connections on the inner conductor. Ive discovered that if I undo a PL259 and look at the mating S0239, I

I believe the appropriate hookup depends on the circuitry. As already noted, the guiding principle is that return current should always be through neutral, and never through ground. This is an import

This is an interesting discussion of a topic that recurs frequently. I agree with Jim K9YC that house wiring should preferably bond the Neutral circuit to Ground at the service entrance, and nowhere

Normally, toroids are self-shielding, which means they are hard to couple into inductively. In a bandswitched amplifier, the inductive loop coupling into the toroid is normally created by the wiring
