Working on my TMC amp with the pair of 3-500Z finals and the toroid tank coil. 1.6-18 MHz. I tried a tank coil for 20 meters that I made out of &frac14; inch copper tubing, 2? diameter and 8 turns. I

Gary, a similar question was asked several years ago on amps and I replied to it with values from some info I have on CRL doorknob ratings. I can't seem to locate my data but here is my post. My unde

Why should the current have gone up? Yes, the unloaded coil Q is higher, but the working Q should, all things being otherwise equal, the same. Thus the circulating current is the same. There's less l

Hi Dan, Thanks for the reply. I did run across your old post on the subject however I am not sure you were talking about the same capacitors that I have. I found on the rf parts web site the 850s cap

Hi Peter, I think my working Q has gone up also with the addition of the large copper coil as tuning is sharper than before. I measured the total capacitance of the plate tune circuit with the coil r

Hi ye all, I feel you are worrying too much about Q and the like. Make it simple, guys! Start from the basics: You know the operating frequency, and the total tuning capacitance value. Take the maxim

Gary, I would argue that if the impedance presented to the plate is the same, then the loaded Q should be pretty much the same. The laod impedance that the plate sees affects directly the power outpu

Hi Manfred, Thanks for the comments. I understand what you are saying about the current thru the capacitor by using the plate voltage to figure the current thru its reactance but isn't there also cir

Hi Peter, But isn't loaded Q also dependent on coil loss and circulating current dependent on loaded Q? See my comments to Manfred. 73 Gary K4FMX _______________________________________________ Amps

Hi Gary, Yes, and actually this current (to the coil) is much larger than the current coming through the the tube! But this doesn't affect the calculation at all, since the tube plate, tuning cap top

The dc plate voltage is the peak RF voltage in a very hard switched PA, so RMS plate voltage would be about .71 times anode voltage but this ignores harmonics. In linear PA's it less, since the anod

Now the question is about ceramic padder capacitors used in the plate tune circuit. There is a variable plate tune cap that is 23-347 pf that is in series with two (parallel) ceramic small door knob

Hi Tom, switched PA, If we want to be precise, we would have to see in which class the amplifier operates. Hard switched in class C or class E? While the lowest instant voltage depends on the tube sa

amplifier in ham use will run in ICAS, and typically in SSB, with an average much below the peak. So it turns out that those 100pF caps in practice will just be loafing along!< I would have supported

That's a fact. I had a friend who worked in a TV repair shop and the TV company said if they could remove one part and the TV would still work, they'd give them $100. 73 Tom W7WHY ___________________
