Re: 3CX3000F7 10-80m
Im still laughing Dave. Some get a litle anal when it comes to hams pushing things a bit but we are not in the commercial or military world. Blowing a choke with that tube only hurts the choke. BTW

Re: 3CX3000F7 10-80m
It?s an expensive fuse, not more. To install it as an rf choke into a 3CX3K amp must be a joke. 73 Peter, DJ7WW _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of

Re: 3CX3000F7 10-80m
This confirms your choke is the "fuse" in your amplifier. If you are ok with that Dave, then great. I have one in an AM plate modulated amplifier with a pair of 4-400s modulated by a pair of 304TLs.

Yep, while the designer ran a full bore 2 hole AL-1500 with no problems the company went to a lower rating to minimize warranty issues. Note I also stressed the layout as many Hammy Hambone amp

Re: 3CX3000F7 10-80m
The Ameritron choke will easily handle 2A from that tube on CW and SSB. It is also well placed for minimum coupling. Carl
