Re: Tuned input
Ok,? I just checked my own manually tuned, tuned input, which cover 160-15m.? Tuned for 3750 khz, (1:1 sq swr) ,? swr rises at 4 mhz...and also 3.5 mhz.? And rises even more the further I go below

Re: Tuned input
I ran the board into a dummy load with an FT450. It shows flat with relay off in pass through. Engaged it shows 1.0 with Trimmers at zero. Any attempt to adjust the caps from zero raises SWR. Even

Re: Tuned input
One added note for LP filters....like used on the output of SS amps.? The harmonics don't get absorbed by the LP filter, nor are they routed to grnd.? ?They get reflected by towards the final PA.

Re: Tuned input
I don't get it.? Sure, the PI network is a LP filter.? BUT when tweaked for? 1:1? swr at the middle of a band, the swr rises when u go below / above the band edges. I'm gonna re-check this in the

Re: Tuned input
Peter. This is NOT a band pass filter?? I am confused here.? I expected each band slot to have a band pass for that band and a cut off above and below. What I see is that I can adjust the match to

Re: Tuned input
Yes, a real easy way to tell is to look at the transfer function with omega equal 0. A non mathematical way is simply, if you put DC in will you get DC out? 73 ¨C Mike Mike B. Feher, N4FS 89 Arnold

Re: Tuned input
Yes,those are 5 turns. A pi-filter with capacitors as shunt elements is a low pass filter, not a band pass filter. Differences from the instructions to the real world might be caused by stray and

Re: Tuned input
So this would be 5? I have tried 7, 6 and 5 turns. NO band pass. Only a cut off past 40mhz. As I remove turns I require less and less cap on each side. With this winding it's 0pf on each side. If I

Re: Tuned input
If a wire goes through the center of a toroid, it counts and acts as a turn. It does not need to be looped around. 73 - Mike Mike B. Feher, N4FS 89 Arnold Blvd. Howell NJ 07731 848-245-9115 Sent:

Re: Tuned input
I removed 2 turns and still do not see band pass. What I see is a high pass at 40mhz. Below that it's pretty flat down the bands. It's supposed to be 7 turns of 20awg. Do the wire ends as they loop

Jim, Thanks for the explanation.? I understand the principle of what you are describing, eg the energy in the tank circuit causes the voltage to rise on the anode on the positive cycle, before

Anode Voltage Sag Issue
A fairly common occurrence is when the capacitor shunting the high voltage choke in the Henry swinging choke design changes value and does not resonate at the 120 hertz intended frequency. I challenge
