382. [Amps] Vacuum Relay Question (score: 1)
Author: Rob Atkinson <ranchorobbo@gmail.com>
Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2021 05:08:24 -0500
I would not use a vacuum relay in a matching network for a 1/4 w. antenna. That's a low v. high current setup calling for open frame contactors or at least large open relays. Perhaps this information

A 1/4 w. monopole load is a low Z load; that means high current, low voltage, i.e. it is not a voltage fed antenna. Therefore there isn't high voltage involved. You can operate without a vacuum relay

Sure you can use vac. relays if they can handle the current. My point was that they're not necessary and since they are usually expensive, why use them when open large surface area contactors can be

SB220s are designed for light duty cycles. SSB and CW. It is probably obvious to you by now that they were not made for full strap at 100% d.c. RTTY for any length of transmit time. You don't need h

Why do some of you guys want to jack up the plate v. on your 3-500s? The power difference won't be noticed and you'll create a cascade of problems. You still have the same plate dissipation and plate

The unun is (my opinion) a waste of time. Just connect your grid input network, usually a pi network for tetrodes, to the grid and design it to do all the impedance transformation. It can be band swi

That's not a problem. Plenty of parts out there that can work. Lots of AM rigs swing up to at least 4 KV DC on positive modulation. Then the peak of each RF cycle goes higher. A couple guys, one now

My guess is that you are not sequencing your station, or you are, but there's a timing problem. When you run high power you have to have a sequencer so everything that changes state can do so and pul
