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. Steve, K0XP

YC-156 is good up to 150 mhz.? ? It will be used on 144 mhz. 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

Yes, that's 2 1/2 times the value for a 8877 that works good up to 222. Will this tube go that high?

144 mhz tuned input for a GG YC-156 ??
Ok, how does one go about building a tuned input for a 144 mhz amp, using a YC-156 tube ? The input C on the YC-156 is huge,? 92.5 pf? ?( grid to cathode). This is for a cathode driven? ?YC-156 (

Re: HomeBrew Amp Chassis
Keep in mind that sometimes, paying somewhat more for the chassis can make up for a lower shipping cost, too. Compromise, compromise, compromise... Steve, K0XP

The Amp Repair guy has a few videos on Utube constructing a few amps. He purchase his chassis ready made. Check Utube for the name of the supplier. And yes there are metal suppliers listed on the web.

Re: Gi46b on 2m - Thermal drift problem
It seems fine, I suppose, even above SRF, it's only a few nH.... and is still a DC block ;-) The Gi46b runs low power as a driver for the final triode so has a pretty easy life.

KW1000 amp renovation, filaments, bias and neutralization.
I recently acquired a British KW1000 linear which uses a pair of 572Bs and is somewhat similar to the SB200. The power transformer was missing but I have been able to fit a replacement from the junk

Sorted! Changed the blocking cap and replaced the muffin fan with a blower big enough for a GS35. Power 350W drifts down to 330W after about 30 seconds, but that could just be the driver power
