Re: 3 x YC-156's vs 8281
Well right now I dont have any "official test lab" figures, however W8JI has measured (if you trust him, I do in this case) -47 dB. Myself I have measured a KWM-2 compared to a FT-1000D, KWM-2 was

Jim, I use the 10 kW version from Array Solutions. Checked it with the scope on the R&S dummyload @ 6 kW on 80, 40 and 20. Seems to be right on the money. Cheers, Dick

If I recall, they have the QRO brand of amps set up this way, or I seen one being modified I can't remember which. All they did was mount a button type thermostat near the tube. Seems to me though

Re: 3 x YC-156's vs 8281
even I already had a monster blower on hand when I put my YC-156 amp together. I drilled a hole in the wall, and ran the cooling air thtough a 10 foot hose from another room. I hear no more noise than

Re: 3 x YC-156's vs 8281
Two speeds are good, Tony, and proportional speed control with a DC- brushless motor is better yet Tektronix was doing this 30-yrs ago. R L Measures, AG6K, 805.386.3734 r@..., , rlm@...,

Re: Grounding Grids on 3-500Z's
You missed the point: A fuse that creates a metal vapour arc when it opens does not adequately limit peak-I until the arc is extinguished. This is why 250v 3AG fuses are bad engineeri

Re: 3 x YC-156's vs 8281
One advantage of an 8171 is that a quiet 1700rpm blower will cool one VFB on SSB. R L Measures, AG6K, 805.386.3734 r@..., , rlm@..., www.somis.org

Re: 3 x YC-156's vs 8281
Yes Probably 90% of 'em will tell us that heavy straps have zero L. My dipmeter says the 3-500 grid resonance frequency is c. 1MHz higher grounding with caps instead of straps.

protect the HV- transformer any better than a circuit breaker in the primary. cheerz ### Don't get sucked into this arguement Frank. ### Rich..... seen any 10-100 kw broadcast stations... with NO HV

Re: Grounding Grids on 3-500Z's
vapor arc that had a v-drop of c. 20v during the period when it should have been limiting current. #### Rich, obviously a .82 ohm resistor is not gonna limit current. It's in there as a HV fuse..

Hi Tony, Was that at 12KW output or at low or medium power? No doubt it will be that high on low power condition... 73 Peter ________________________________ From: ham_amplifiers@...
