Very nice story... lol. I remember when we where playing with a double shot of N2O2, we had the first shot SUPPOSED to come on when the car got out of the gate... Then another shot about 30-40 yards down the track. WELL, someone decided to wire the first shot to the trans-brake trigger...

Most run Radio Shack xformers with the GS35s. That's what they look like. --Toll_Free

Hrm, our mini-sprints and turf cars had to have them, but then again, we didn't use spindle wheels (single wheel nut). I come from spindle wheel background, with 4500+ hp behind it.... BUT, we only shifted 6 gears in 85 yards. In the sand :) EVERYTHING in that car had to have 'caged' or...

You have to quadruple the output power to get 1 pound increase. SO, going from 2 watts of deadkey to 8, will give you 1 s unit increase..... Then to go from 2 to 3 S Units, you'd be talking going to 32 watts of carrier. I doubt your friends radio does 60 watts PEP, unless it has a stinger...

(L)ong (D)istance (O)perator..... I know a tech from their, but getting ahold of him is an excersize in trying to find 30 dollar 8877s. --Toll_Free

I'll see if I have an IRF device still laying around. If so, I'll see what I can do about a relatively stock chassis.... SOMEONE in town has to have one they'll donate, I believe mine are all widebanded audio monsters with volted finals, etc. COULD be made to work, but would NOT be...

Anyone who thinks this amplifier is ugly OBVIOUSLY hasn't pulled the bottom plate off ANY Bluegill amplifier. --Toll_Free

How could you pass tech then, not being able to wire the ends of bolts? Not to mention, wheel studs are required to stick out 2 inches of thread..... :) --Toll_Free

That a challenge? Or, here... I'll let the cat outta the bag. You have to modify the bias circuit. Using a REAL zener diode, and set the circuit up accordingly. Those little 'circuits' consisting of a silicon diode and a pair of resistors fall apart when it comes to the dynamics of a class...

So, what was the results of this test? --Toll_Free

Ima haff to build a veefo so I can check in with the MC-8 :) --Toll_Free

You're right... Duhhh.... LOL. The Baron, the LTD and a couple others. Still, NOT their own designs, when it came to 'top end'.... Their 'entry level' stuff, I've never seen any that survived, so I can't comment. I like finding the old Polycomm and other odd branded tube stuff. The...

They did two. One was with a freq counter, one was without. --Toll_Free

As others have pointed out, it's an antenna issue, not a coax issue. You can SOMETIMES mitigate the noise pickup on the antenna by using a choke across the coax terminals, BUT a lot of radios already have that put in. EVERY amp or radio I work on, I put a 10 mH choke across the antenna...

YES!!!! I apologize if I came across as an ass, but.... :) Guess I am :) lol. Yup, you are learning the ins and outs of your amplifier. You can also download the manual from Ameritron if you didn't get one with the purchase. --Toll_Free

BTW, IpxVp = INPUT power. Multiply that by about .6 and you get OUTPUT power :) The 450 is the MILLIAMPS. He's pulling about 1400 watts of input to get a grand of output. It's running just about right. He just doesn't understand the difference between milliamps and volts. --Toll_Free

Almost every circuit breaker used in the United States up to about 2 years ago is under a non-recall replacement now. Your problem is going to be the little area in the circuit breaker that PINCHES the mains busbar. Those have been found at fault in SO many home fires that the NFPA...

I'll have to get a camera out that actually takes a decent pix of my scope. The cam phone I have does OK, but gets REALLY wavy lines through it. The problem is I use nearly ALL HID lights throughout the house. A 45-65 watt will put the light out that a 150-200 watt incandescent does, and...

On 10 that's acceptable for output. The Ameritron line IS NOT KNOWN for efficiency on 10 meters. You can change the plate tank tap for that, but if you DON'T know what you're doing, I wouldn't. Can you check it on 40 meters, or even better on 80? Should produce about 1Kw to 1100 on 80...

What are you trying to do? Do you actually KNOW what those "other bands" are? Your amplifier is working. Quite making another job out of it. --Toll_Free
