I assume that you've seen the excellent TL-922 engineering information, here: http://pa0fri.home.xs4all.nl/Lineairs/TL922/tl-922eng.htm They were thinking of "super cathode" driven design... discusse

Carel, I think what you were originally suggesting might work, as long as you have access to both sides of each primary winding. If you call the phases Red (R), Yellow (Y) and Blue (B) as we used to

Bob, Before you worry too much about gettering the tubes I suggest that you check them for emission and reactivating them if necessary... I found how to do this on PA0FRI's site, here: http://www.xs4

Interesting question... many external anode tubes are "self gettering" in-so-much-as the gettering substance is painted on to the cathode and the process of running the tube (heater on) is sufficient

... and the thermal "mass" of an external anode tube is huge compared with the relatively small internal anode on something like a 572B or a 3-500Z... hence which the same amount of kinetic energy ma

Chris, I think that I've heard about this before with 4CX250Bs on 144MHz... isn't it something to do with "shot noise" and incomplete cut-off of the tubes? ... you probably have a few tens of uA of a

Hsu, You can make a good shunt screen stabiliser using an op-amp and a tetrode, this was done many times for 4CX250B, 4CX1000A etc. before the Tetrode Boards from Ian G3SEK... See here (second half o

This appears to be not uncommon across several amp designs - even the venerable TL-922 shows lower output on 160m than it does on 80m/40m and no doubt if the input power is there then the output is g

Val, With a tetrode your screen supply must be able to source and sink current wile maintaining regulation of the voltage at the screen. One way of doing this is with a series-regulator and a bleed r

Larry, At 432MHz you might be able to put a 1/4-wave stub in the HT feed, depending where you put the feedthru in the anode chassis, a 13.5cm length of RG400 (or similar) PTFE coax grounded at the fe

Hi Larry, Sounds like you have far too much RF reaching the 'cold' end of the inductor and bypass cap. This might be because the inductor is mis-placed on the anode line or because your inductor is t

So, you're building a transmit combiner for an FM radio transmitter application? You really need a Wilkinson combiner. Al the power levels you're considering I would suggest that you make your own co

Dave, Some thoughts: 1. your design really should be a full Wilkinson combiner, the output of each LPF should have a 100R across to the output of the other LPF so that you have circa 30dB of isolatio

Don, Agreed, I have a single 3-500Z on 6m (very good design from QST 1971) but it had a bit too much gain with 3600V on the tube, so I put 3 x 22R 3W MOF resistor in parallel (giving about 7R at 9W)
