Is there a device I can add to the end of a 16.9 V, 150 amp supply That will allow me to turn it down to 15.0 volts and keep the ability to supply 150 amps?
Not really looking for help. Here's the situation. I am currently running a single final radio. Driving a DX-1200 with a single final radio. I have a dull final radio on the way. I know from 40 years of experience that installing a 2sc1973 in place of the stock device ups the final output...
The factory alignment after the clarifier is unlocked is a definite. The purpose is to be able to drive my DX 1200 better than I am currently doing with a single final radio. I don't want to drive it with a modulator. It will increase the RMS and the peak.
If I can double what I am currently...
I run something that most would hit with a driver. I don't want to do that. 40+ watts works for me. Switching to the 2SC1973 Will increase the output of each transistor in the RF chain.
I am gathering the components to add a second transistor.
Good transistor but can't drop it in to a mosfet circuit. The 2sc1973 Replacement doesn't even have to have the resistor replaced. You can just retune the can and get better performance.
This will improve the RF and peak output on DX-929 thru Dx-979.
The ones that are used in these radios are only rated at 300mw.
Q-52.
Replace with a 2sc1973. The same one that is used in Cobra 142, 148, and 2000. Rated at 750mw, 1 watt typical.
Replace R-253 with 18ohm
If you are running a...
For those trying to get more out of a single mos fet final converted to dual final, As in the DX959, replace Q52 with a 2SC1973. Replace R-253 with a 22 Ω. Adjust L40 and power
Thanks Andy. I'm just hoping maybe it will allow it to run a little bit cooler. There's nothing wrong with it and I'm not looking to get anything special out of it. But I'm retired and I'm bored and I'm hoping well at a minimum maybe at least it will run a little cooler. Thank you so much for...
I have been trying to find the measurements for this. It might fit inside the 2547 and work as an upgrade. But I cannot get an answer back from them. Haven't been able to find the dimensions.
My sentiments exactly Andy. My Hope was and still is that the additional info will come out that will help us solve these problems. I like the fact that the gentleman swapped out of part to get it stable. I also noticed that the top and the bottom where off the radio. Now that the party has been...
