    Heathkit SB200 tubes getting red

    I take it comparing a Dentron and a Heathkit is like comparing apples and pears and has little to do with 4 tubes vs 2 :D

    Heathkit SB200 tubes getting red

    100w into four 572b's making 1200w is 11dB and sounds about right. 100w into two 572b's making 600w is only 8dB and doesn't sound right. So my question was, "how does adding tubes increase gain"?

    2 pill amplifiers...

    I did the high power radio thing a few years ago, an external driver is a lot more flexible in my opinion.

    Don't take this wrong, but you just passed general and you're asking if it's better to tune a monobander or throw a tuner on it?

    Texas Star 350HDV

    Actually, that 120vac transformed, rectified and filtered can be several thousand volts. Even unplugged there is enough potential stored in the caps to kill someone very easily. BUT, this a 12vdc related thread.

    Texas Star 350HDV

    The VR is barely adequate to start, then you dragging the wiper across the resistive element while keyed exaggerates it's demise.
