Re: 144 mhz tuned input for a GG YC-156 ??

Try a 3/4 wavelength stripline. Get the design info from W6GGV's articles published in the Nov. '80, and Jan. through April '81 issues of Ham Radio.

Yes, the 8877 has a 38.5 pf? between cathode and grid....and is good up to 250 mhz.??

Question is.... how the hell do u make a tuned input for 144 mhz, with a whopping 92.5 pf of input C ??

?

With a conventional Pi tuned input....and an overall network Q of '4'? ?( input Q = 2.2)? ( output Q = 1.8)
It's then? C1 = 49.1 pf? ?L= .04 uh? ? C2 =? 56.1 pf?

The input C is WAY more than the? required C2 value.? ?Note this is based on a 35 ohm input Z.?

OK, here's what might work....increase the overall network Q to '8'? ? ( input Q =4.4)? ?( output Q = 3.6)?

It's then C1 = 96.8 pf? ?L =? .02 uh? ?C2 = 114.4 pf? ? Note, this is based on a 35 ohm input Z.??

trying to fabricate a .02 uh inductor will be a trick. A straight piece of copper strap might just? work.?
