181. [Amps] Fake transistors (score: 1)

It's not only from eBay and amateurs that get caught. Plessey Semiconductors stopped making the SL521 logarithmic amplifier in 1997 (having made it large quantities from 1963!) and a South African ma

More than 50years ago, I was taught that it is very bad practice to rely on mounting screws to ground a PCB. You should always use a lead, or if necessary for RF, a suitable grounding strap. Especial

OK, so negative screen current is caused by secondary emission from the screen grid. According to Terman, "With surfaces treated in such a way as to enhance secondary emission, as many as ten seconda

You need to know the ripple current rating. SCR commutation capacitors have the sort of ratings you need. There are a lot of physically small, high capacity (20+mFd) caps at 2.5 or 3kV around meant f

I agree with Carl here. I had a string of 220mFd 500 volt electrolytics meant for photoflash work: even in a choke input filter, they didn't last very long before squirting stuff out of the vent hole

It would seem that there are a number of us who are very dubious about such capacitors for this application. In view of the price, I figure that because of both that and the lack of data on ripple cu

I use a 5kV ionisation tester to check things. Cost $9 (whoops - heavy money!!) but needed a rebuild - but the case and PSU would have done for a 160m AM tx if it wasn't restorable! Ideal for checkin

Bill, The OP's licence allows 400 watts PEP at the antenna on most bands - exceptions are parts of 160 above 1850kHz, 70MHz and some higher bands. NOTE: 10 MHz allows 400 watts PEP! == Message Receiv

After doing some simple calculations, I think you only need 6 positions on the tank switch. 160, 80, 40, 30/20, 17/15, 12/10. The Acom 1500 uses 7 positions as 160, 80, 40/30, 20, 17/15, 12/10, 6. Bu
