What you say is true with respect to differences due to plate current but, from the grid's point of view, one end of the filament is at +7.5V with respect to the other end because of the filament PSU

Looking at the constant current curves, DC filament supply with a centre tap probably won't be a problem, maybe 20% variation in emission from end to end. I still have some radios with 1.5V filament

Rich was talking about putting diodes across the current measuring resistor, not directly across the meter itself. Typically the resistor generates something in the region of 0.5-2V which the meter r

OK, I should have said the diode voltage could be 1.5-2V rather than 'will be', but I'm happy with the numbers. When adding something as protection and/or safety, I reckon it's good to work with wors

There's been almost 300V p-p around the input circuits so I'd check D1-D3 as well, maybe other diodes too. Attenuator - it's difficult to predict what to expect depending on its internal configuratio

Sadly you're right on both counts there. I can see there's some overdrive protection on the input which switches in 10ohms across the input to the transistors if the drive goes too high - but it does

Mark, Can I suggest you check some other voltages? Looking at the schematic, with the bias pot at minimum the base voltage on the SD1405 should be equal to the voltage across the bias reference diode

For clarification, adding an attenuator doesn't guarantee a 50ohm load to the rig regardless. An attenuator makes VSWR lower, the amount of improvement related to the value of the attenuator. For exa
