In random tests when an unknown intermittent problem occurs, no change at all can result in what people perceive as a cure. This why double blind tests are done. The random coincidence effect is why

Actually Paul Hrivnak of Vectronics, when he was convinced the glass in Chinese 3-500's was melting from parasitics, included a nichrome hairpin in his single 3-500Z amp. The amp kept melting holes

That is electrically impossible. There is only so much emission available, and the force from even many dozens of amperes is in the order of grams. It is nearly impossible from filament inrush, it i

For those who are interested: 1.) The filament starting current can easily be 30 or 40 amperes RMS (50 amperes peak) for thousands of turn on filament cycles and not cause damage. As a matter of fact

You can go all the way down to a few hundered pF on the blocker and it will make very little difference in tuning. It is at a few thousand ohm impedance point. If the blocker was so bad as to affect

Joe and Tom, While the tuning cap meshes very slightly more, the loading cap decreases noticeably in required size as drive power is increased. For example with a effective network Q of 12 and 3000

I'm having a difficult time following the logic in that. I don't believe that point could ever be reached. It would require a fast-attack slow-decay copper. The temperature rise time should be the s

It's easy to see the series resistance added by the nichrome primarily affects low frequency performance, and has a decreasing effect as frequency is increased. The correct term for a nichrome suppr

That can be because of relay sequencing. Known to be a problem in the stock TL922. Because of bypass caps and other component values, the ringing can never have a higher peak at VHF than it has at H

Every suppressor, even a parallel R and silver L, behaves similar. They just have slightly different slopes in impedance. When we compare a nichrome suppressor to an equally VHF sized conventional s
