Re: Adjusting Ameritron AL-82 input coils
Do all the coils look the same or is the 20 meter coil different? Bob W4JFA [email protected]> wrote:

Adjusting Ameritron AL-82 input coils
I have an older AL-82 that works fine except the input SWR is right around 2:1 on 20m and it's just high enough to cause the K3 that I am driving it with to start to foldback so that the output power

Re: Bird Termaline load repair
Maybe you can make a short jumper with some L or C (which ever's needed) to tune out the reactance at those UHF freqs? Bob W4JFA [email protected]> wrote:

Re: Bird Termaline load repair
In? lieu of a DL, what else that works is.....? 160m at high noon......and 10m at midnight. On 40m, just find some SW AM broadcast station, and tune all you want.

Re: Bird Termaline load repair
I gave up the oil loads years ago. Also supposed to use a special silicone oil which is not cheap. I use air cooled loads, this one came out of the att ship to shore site in ocean gate New Jersey.

Re: Bird Termaline load repair
Scott, I wonder if the resistor may have been replaced with one from a contaminated load or a water load, not knowing the history on it makes it a Sherlock Holmes case. Measuring near 50 Ohms dc does

Re: Bird Termaline load repair
It is an "exponentially tapered" section.? I can send a picture of the load assembly if that would help with suggestions.

Um, no.? Thanks anyway.

Re: Bird Termaline load repair
The transition from "N" to the load should be a tapered "constant impedance" section.... not a flat plate which is fine to around 100mhz. Don Roden Links: ------

Re: Bird Termaline load repair
The length of the coax between your dummy load and the test source is likely the culprit. Try various lengths of coax. 73, Dave, w6de Sent: 11 June, 2024 20:40 To: [email protected] Subject:

Bird Termaline load repair
Peripherally related... I have a new-to-me Bird 8890 load.? It's rated VSWR 1.1:1 to 1 GHz, but sweeps substantially worse, rising to nearly 3:1 at 435 MHz. I've taken the load assembly out of the

Real 8k ultra with control box on the way
Have a factory made 8k ultra with spare plate transformer on the way. If not to screwed up I will fix and re sell. If beyond repair I will strip and part out. Stay tuned to my YouTube channel under

Re: WD7S lack of HV circuit ?
Yeah. You're right Jim.I hadn't thought it through that far and you're right about the many handy applications. I use them a lot. Alek VK6APK.

Re: WD7S lack of HV circuit ?
Yep. I got a couple of those surplus boards many years ago and I use the couplers in lots of applications. Amplifier keying relay between radio and amp, bias cutoff resistor shorting relay in grounded

Re: WD7S lack of HV circuit ?
Alek, I don't think the opto idea would work.? ?All the resistors are in series, and regardless of value..... the current is the same. (current in a series circuit is the same). IE: say 7500 vdc

Re: WD7S lack of HV circuit ?
In another lifetime, we used OPTO22's for most of our control work where PLCs were involved. They used to make pre-printed circuit boards where you could get 5X, 10X or 20X units on a board. At a

My protection board for the 160-15 meter pa uses opto¡¯s. Nice thing is they are super fast.

Re: WD7S lack of HV circuit ?
Opto devices are pretty cool, but its like a technology that all of sudded blew up overnight and as soon as it came on with so much popularity it almost seems as if they dropped off with popularity
