Re: Bias Boards
That works well with the Kenwood hybrids also. I believe I use a 25K pot on my 4 TS-830's (3 drive VHF to microwave transverters and the other is at the amp service bench) but would have to look as it

Re: Bias Boards
You get the overshoot because the rig has to develop the ALC after keyup. 100k pot, 9 volt battery, plus to ground, neg from pot to ALC jack. Set power out with pot. No overshoot, since ¡°ALC¡±

Re: Bias Boards
I got the Bias board working correctly. Thanks for Jim for the support on the phone.? The instructions should be updated for the board. It suggests adding a 10K pot in series with the factory board

Re: Bias Boards
That is the Plan. Its a major pain to get to the board as the Deck has to come off the Cabinet.? Maybe later today I can take a look inside. The tube has full output power and is the same as the

Re: Bias Boards
Get inside the single 3-1000Z amp....and measure the actual voltage being applied. It may well be a simple thing, where you have it hooked up incorrectly, and have diverted a huge chunk of that 39

Re: Bias Boards
That is a great question.? Its a variable supply and I just started off 0 and turned up until I had it set. I would need to measure it.? I read the Datasheet. I would think -15 to -20 range would do

Re: Bias Boards
I have four tubes and also several 4-1000 tubes.? Two of the 3-1000Z are brand new out of the box. All make the same current and power.? I know the B plus is correct, I used my Fluke and it reads

Re: Bias Boards
It is hard to argue with the Eimac spec sheet and curves so I dont know what Clark has there. I wouldnt expect a damaged tube to exihibit such results but........ Is there any sign of internal gas

Re: Bias Boards
Thank you Dave. I will look into that board. C

Re: Bias Boards
It's worth looking at this site:http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek/boards/triode/triode-1.htm What Ian doesn't know about such topics isn't worth knowing. Dom F1FRV could also give good

<clark@... Apr 7 6:41 PM <I understand the differences in class and imd. However. 13 volts won't cut the tube off to 100 ma. I have <the amp here with the triode board all the way up

Re: Bias Boards
Yes, I can see your confusion. I would have thought that Carl's estimate of 13V would have been pretty close to the mark, as the circuit I have for a 3-1000Z running at 3kV, has 0V bias and idles at

Re: Bias Boards
Carl was talking 100mA ZSAC, not -100V bias voltage. Cheers, Alek. VK6APK

Re: Bias Boards
Class C bias means zero Ip in standby, my comment was right out of the Eimac tube manual for Class B modulators and 100 ma PER tube idle current. Class B is class B no matter what your using it
By Carl · #36806 ·
Re: Bias Boards
Thanks for the reply Carl. I am confused as to your suggestion to use -13 volts. I am using -39 now and its still 225 MA at 4000 volts.? The Sheet lists -100 to be Class C bias. C

Re: Bias Boards
My experience with the Alpha and a few later EBS circuits is that the switching transient spike goes out over the air. Several have commented the same about the AL-80B circuit and they have removed
