I used my AL-80A during the recent NA Sprint. I found that when I went to 80m, it was difficult to tune to more than 300 watts without exceeding 150 ma of grid current. After a few minutes, I also he

I'll check this. Mr. Measures suggested reversing the coil wires -- I'm not sure what good that would do, unless the relay frame has become permanently magnetized.... Some one else warned me that I m

The relay contacts are probably dirty or it is the wrong relay . The AL80A relay should have the NC center contact either removed or bent out of the way. The spitting is either a bad part like a bad

Bingo! PTT does not always cure hot-switching. The cure is blazingly fast (<2mS) relays closure. More C = less loading. Less C = more loading. Richard L. Measures, AG6K, 805.386.3734. www.somis.org _

I resolved the "spitting" problem. After carefully tuning up the amp for 80m, using as little loading C as possible to get the maximum output, there was no spitting into the dummy load. Then I switch

It's Volts, not Watts that causes the arcing. Your antenna appears to have a high enough impedance to produce really high voltage at 600W. What VSWR is the tuner is rated to match at 2kW - and is thi

Sour grapes? True enough, but adjustments that result in more circulating current in the L will result in more I^2 x R loss and less efficiency. Then how can all network Qs transfer energy efficientl

Tnx, Bill. 0.125" has a working potential rating of 4500v, which is at least 1200v higher that what should be there. end Richard L. Measures, AG6K, 805.386.3734. www.somis.org _______________________
