Re: Ten-Tec Centurion, new tubes, idle current, glowing plates?
I hope the attached picture shows. This is a 3-500z with approx 90 - 100mA plate current after about 60 - 90 seconds. Bob W4JFA [email protected]> wrote:

Re: Bird Termaline load repair
So really the point is that I want the load to operate according to specifications:? VSWR 1.1:1 0-1 GHz; 1.25:1 1-2 GHz.? This one can't make spec above 30 MHz. Here is another picture of the

If all else fails,? you could just feed power into a 435 mhz ant, like a 1/4 GP / dipole / small yagi .....in the garage or basement etc. How much power does the DL have to handle? @ 435 mhz ????
