[AMRadio] WTB: HV Transformer
Seems like transformers are going the way of CW. After a month of looking, posting on 3 classified sites and several mail lists, Classic Radio Net and usenet, I am still looking for something as basic as 3000vct transformer. I can order one new from Dahl but that sort of takes the fun out of this but may have no other option. So last call.

They seem to be all over the place, however no one else has said a thing about them except Don on amfone.net. They sound like inverted audio, however it would seem that going to the opposite sideband would allow you to tune them, but it doesn't. Maybe I'm not thinking clearly on Inverted audio.

RE: [AMRadio] Odd signals in lower 80 meters
I haven't listened on 80 for those signals but I have herd similar to what you describe in the past. A few years ago there were several companies selling scramblers that inverted the audio. A lot of them went into South America and were used by people for their private radio networks. I would guess many were not licensed users. You can not decode it by switching side bands. It is simply done by mixing the speech with an audio tone and everything comes out upside down. The high frequencies come out as low frequencies and the low frequencies come out at high frequencies and they are offset by the mixing tone frequency. If you listen carefully you can make out a word once in awhile. 73 Gary K4FMX -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:amradio- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of A.R.S. - W5AMI Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 12:05 PM To: Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service Subject: [AMRadio] Odd signals in lower 80 meters Has anyone beside Don/KYV and myself heard these odd sounding voice signals between 3700 and about 3750 that seem to be sideband, but can not be tuned in either lower or upper sideband?

[AMRadio] 3 kV CT transformer
Jack, K9ACT, before you pay Peter D. to make a new transformer, I wanted to tell you that EBAY has transformers that meet your needs quite often. Search under HV Transformers, and Plate Transformers as keywords, and you will find various parts. You have to look through a list of microwave oven transformers, photocopying transformers, and TRANSFORMERS, those little toys. Buried in there you will see occasional Westinghouse, UTC, GE, and so forth. Depending on the current you need, a 3 KV CT (good for a little under 1400 VDC output with a choke input) might cost about $30-50 on EBAY, if you are lucky. 1100-0-1100 to 1500-0-1500 secondary transformers are much more common than 2500-0-2500 and up. So they don't cost as much. The higher voltage high power models go for $100 typically, sometimes too much. Depending on your current requirement, you might need something like a UTC 303, 311 or 312. The first is 22 lbs, but the second two are 50 lb units. These were the commercial grade UTCs. Their S Series S-47 or 48 might also fit your needs, weighing 24 or 31 lbs. These are all still found surplus if you look for them. Stancor, Chicago, Thordarson, and Triad all made something in this range also. If you don't mind paying for shipping and crating, I could probably find something either in my shed or at the local junkyard that will be one of these. Here is a store on EBAY, that always has plate transformers, sometimes large. I have bought modulation transformers from them: Uncle Henry's Basement. Antique Electronic Parts and Equipment for the DIY Audio and Radio enthusiast. Tubes, Transformers and more! myworld.ebay.com/we91/ Hammond in Canada also makes a very reputable line of transformers to meet your requirement, with their 700 series: http://www.hammondmfg.com/700.htm Good luck, finding iron isn't as hard as you think, but you have do more than post classified wanted ads to get them. 73 John K5PRO __ AMRadio mailing list List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Partner Website: http://www.amfone.net Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net

I need to do some maintenance on the telephone wiring in my house in order to cure a hum that is now constant on all phones. While I'm at it, I'd like to take appropriate measures to eliminate, or at least reduce the rfi that occurs whenever I operate on 80 or 40 meters with any mode. Which ferrite beads or filtering should I use, and should I place any such devices on the house side of the entry box rather than, or in addition to at the connection point for each phone? The rfi was present before the hum appeared, so I doubt curing the hum will cure the rfi, although it certainly might at least reduce it. Mike Duke, K5XU American Council of Blind Radio Amateurs ---tom sez- Hi Mike, The last time I had hum on the phone it was caused by a water intrusion problem on the telco line outside the house. The way to check if it is your problem or theirs you may have already gone through this drill, sorry), is to plug a phone into the interface box on the outside of the house, which will isolate all the house wiring from the telco line. If there is hum, give the telco folks a call. If the hum is inside, start isolating things inside until you find it. Good luck in your search. 73 Tom/W4OKW __ AMRadio mailing list List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Partner Website: http://www.amfone.net Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net

RE: [AMRadio] WTB: HV Transformer
I think the problem is the weight. I have a BC610 transformer, I don't want to sell it, but if I did, it's a bit crazy to ship something that heavy. I don't want to even think about getting it out of the basement! Peter Dahl makes some nice stuff, and generally speaking, its smaller and lighter than the old stuff. I got a 6000 vct at 800 ma Peter Dahl transformer at a fest a few years ago ($100.00) and its half the size and weight the BC610 transformer.

After a month of looking, posting on 3 classified sites and several mail lists, Classic Radio Net and usenet, I am still looking for something as basic as 3000vct transformer. I can order one new from Dahl but that sort of takes the fun out of this but may have no other option. So last call.

RE: [AMRadio] 811A Socket
The correct answer may be yes--I've never tried an 811A in an 866 socket. Do the 811A's have the alignment pin on the side like an 866A? Either way, a regular 4-pin socket (ceramic preferred of course) also works just fine. The same socket that holds your type 80 rectifier in your 1932 Philco, works just fine for the 811A. 73, Don Merz, N3RHT -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jack Schmidling Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 8:15 PM To: Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service Subject: Re: [AMRadio] 811A Socket crawfish wrote: Yes.

RE: [AMRadio] Farnell 257
I got one made by Marconi, but it only works on vhf and uhf, I tested it with an aircraft radio and it works. That's what most of these units were designed for, the aircraft bands, where they still use AM.

RE: [AMRadio] 811A Socket
Yes, the 811A fit the same socket as a 866. I believe that includes the bayonet pin also. I had a power supply using 866s and went to solid state. Ended up putting the 811s in the empty socket for the modulator. de KA4JVY Mark --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The correct answer may be yes--I've never tried an 811A in an 866 socket.

The only difference is that if I buy a new one it will cost more than the shipping for what that's worth. js -- PHOTO OF THE WEEK: http://schmidling.com/pow.htm Astronomy, Beer, Cheese, Fiber,Gems, Sausage,Silver http://schmidling.com __ AMRadio mailing list List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Partner Website: http://www.amfone.net Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net

I have two nice Johnson sockets for the 811 it's a socket for the 866 that I need and the one left in the supply has a smaller base than the Johnson and that is what am now looking for. I didn't know this when I bought the sockets. js -- PHOTO OF THE WEEK: http://schmidling.com/pow.htm Astronomy, Beer, Cheese, Fiber,Gems, Sausage,Silver http://schmidling.com __ AMRadio mailing list List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Partner Website: http://www.amfone.net Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net
