Re: RMItaly BLA600
Being curious, will this modification work with the 7300's too? Andy

Re: RMItaly BLA600
Jim, I now remember you writing about this a few years ago. To me this is a serious design flaw. It shoulda went back to the drawing board. Thanks for writing that again. So, do you know if the Icom

Re: RMItaly BLA600
The 706mk2 puts out a 150 watt spike, regardless of where you set the PO.? ?The issue with ALC is..... it's closing the barn door after the horse has bolted....too late to catch a spike.? ?ALC

Re: RMItaly BLA600
Thank you Bob. It mentions that radio having a lot of overshoot. I concluded the amp was functioning as designed, puts out 455W in CW, which is close to the rating, and if he sets the ALC min-max

Re: RMItaly BLA600
Steve, Here's some interesting reading on the overshoot issue... ALC Exciter Power Overshoot (w8ji.com) <https://www.w8ji.com/alc_exciter_power_overshoot.htm> Bob W4JFA

Re: RMItaly BLA600
Hi Bob Could be...I heard the same thing regarding ICOM but was not sure if its multiple radios or just the 706. RMItaly says they only recommend using the ALC jack if you are mostly on 1 band else if

Re: RMItaly BLA600
Steve, I have read that the Icom 706 has a very bad amplifier overshoot. I wonder if that's what caused the owner's problem? I don't have any experience with a 706 myself, I've only read about it. I

Fixing one of these up, had a blown LDMOS FET now ok on CW, but SSB trips a lot of error protect faults related to I think the peak power during modulation input to the amp. It claims > 25W is what

Re: 3CX1200Z7 maximum safe grid current
I use 300 mA as a max at 4kV B+ in CW. The issue with grid dissipation is that the tube¡¯s input impedance needs to be known and it¡¯s not a trivial value to determine. I trust Ameritron¡¯s

Re: 3CX1200Z7 maximum safe grid current
The amplifiers were sold without tubes because they cost too much and killed amplifier sales. The 3CX1200A7 can also be used in place of a 3CX1200Z7. Look here to see the spec sheet of both tubes:

3CX1200Z7 maximum safe grid current
I have an AL-1200 with the 3CX1200Z7. The tube has a grid dissipation rating of 50W, but I've found no spec for maximum grid current. On page 5 of the AL-1200 manual it says do not exceed 300ma during

It was $3500 shipped.

Re: Ameritron ALS-1406
So far, so good.? What was the price, including the power supply ? Tom left Ameritron in 2019.? Dunno who actually designed it.

Ameritron ALS-1406
I have only had my 1406 for a month now. It is performing well. Some one told me that they had a 1406 and that it would do 1500 watts easily. I just tried mine for the first time at that power level.

Re: Fl-2100Z problems
I too, have had an ongoing issue with the band switch in my FL-2100B. After repeated band switch repairs (replacing contacts you did) I ultimately found my problems were being caused by a keying delay

Re: Fl-2100Z problems
Jordan. I commend you on your repairs. In my view and experience, 160m in the FL-2100Z was an afterthought and I have never seen one operate really well in the VK segment of the band. They are

Thanks everyone for the response. I ended up drilling out the rivets and replacing the fingers with a similar wafer switch with basically identical fingers kindly provided by a local ham, I used small

Re: Fl-2100Z problems
Thanks Joe. Price becomes a big issue when you try and get it to Australia. There are 2100B and TL922 switches on Ebay but none for the 2100Z. I have a brand new 2100Z switch? here and I'm in

Re: Fl-2100Z problems
It has been a couple of years since I checked, but, Yaesu had a bunch of band switches for the 2100 amplifiers..pricey..Then 125 bucks. Dunno if they covered 160 or WARC though. Have you called them?
