Many Henry RF generators on 27 or 14 MHz use a brass (?) slug within a copper
tube coil for inductance changing (as the turns counter advances the slug
within the coil the inductance reduces) and a rather Heath Robinson variable
capacitor using two brass plates, with a Teflon insulation sheet between them.
Now I realize they were not intended to be frequency agile, so my question is,
is there an advantage to changing the strange looking variable cap for a vacuum
variable? Is the consensus of opinion that slug tuning the inductor is fine and
can be left as is? Thanks.
