21. Re: [Amps] Internal QSK-5 (score: 1)

I looked at the manuals available Ameritron site. I can't find a schematic, but simply by looking at the parts list, it's clear that these two switches are different. How different remains a mystery.

Thanks again, Joe! I suspect that the basic theory of operation is unchanged, but the hardware that implements the theory may be upgraded. I'll have to look on BAMA. Yes, Tom designed the PIN-5 which

I downloaded the schematic from BAMA:the old PIN-5 ,ust be in there someplace, but it has evolved extensively. No ICs in the PIN-5, no FETs, and the PIN diodes are different. Both clearly must act as

As I unravel what's failed on with my PIN-5 swicth (a predecessor of the QSK-5 switch) I'm wodering: does the QSK-5 switch include a keying loop? There is a later version of the PIN-5 that seemes to

I decided to bite the bullet and replace my (nearly prototype) ancient PIN-5 QSK switch I'd had in my Ameritron AL-80A amp with the newer QSK-5 switch. As some of you might recall, my PIN-5 had devel

Thanks, Carl! The tuning capacitor was *completely* unmeshed and I could not find the expected "double dip" points, which is what concerned me. I could never know if I was truly resonant or merely cl

I wouldn't shy away from used in good condition -- they look to be going for $1600-$2000. Save for the subchassis for the tubes, the AL-82, AL-1200 and AL-1500 are identical. All are very simple. You

Any amp will be inefficient when used as a linear amplifier for AM because as drive is reduced, efficiency is reduced. They will all generate a lot of heat in this application. However, the AL-1200 s

In sure that the relay isn't stuck. They handle a fair bit of current and sometimes the contacts weld closed. Check all the components in the step-start circuit, too, to make sure they are all workin
