1. [Amps] 300Hz sidebands (score: 1)

Hi all. I have several tetrode amplifiers that run from a 3PH 50Hz supply. With the advent of the FT8 I have become aware that I have 300Hz sidebands at only -50dBc, this is obviously unacceptable. T

I would suggest checking both the choke and the capacitor, If there has been a short in the overvoltage protector across the choke, it would be out of the circuit. Without the choke, the ripple incre

Reported by whom? What did they use to measure it? Did you get a second opinion? Is it your exciter? Are you over driving your radio from the computer? Since you run 1KW on FT8, have you been put on

Well of course initially I poured scorn on the complainers. But I have an E4406B spectrum analyser. So, I got a second opinion from myself. Sadly, they were right +/- 300Hz @ -50dBc. On VHF we can ru

On the schematic a choke, Dr 401, is shown between the six-pulse bridge and the filter capacitor. It is bridged by an overvoltage protector. As you do not generate the screen voltage from the plate s

Hello Geert. Yes, I did try 3 different drivers, and several amplifiers off this HT supply. The same result. TS2000 IC746 Same result. I eventually got the supply out of the rack and took the lid off

Hello Jim, the previous owner removed the HT choke! These sidebands are as expected for a 3PH 6 pulse capacitor smoothed supply. The original choke is on its way here which will improve things by 20d

Conrad, As an engineer, I LOVE your proper sense of perspective. Here in the former colonies, I often see splatter 0n 40M, most of it produced by Yeasu rigs, that extends 2-3 kHz on both sides of the

Yes, a sense of perspective and proportions always helps. A lot of current amateur gear show quite atrocious adjacent channel performance, especially in the hands of the "all knobs to the right" crow

Hello Jim, it is a grid driven tetrode in AB1, the G2 supply is shunt stabilised and from a separate single-phase transformer. I can assure you that the drive level and therefore the anode current do

"Ripple modulation factor" has to do with the inability of a tetrode AB1 amplifier to be plate modulated by changing plate voltage. This goes along with the fact that changing the plate voltage has v

Hello Conrad, It is not that difficult to find out, what is happening. If you have 4% 300Hz ripple, a clas C amplifier will be platemodulated with 4% 300Hz modulation. If the amplifier is class A, th
