Byron, W3WKR It was resonant, but I wanted to draw a bit more current in the final. Not necessarily at the 4kV of DC that a 250TH can take, (4kV @ 250mA would be quite suffiecient, as long as I had enough drive to compensate for exceeding the plate dissapation by only running 45mA of grid drive per tube - for a pair, I'd need more like 150mA at that kind of current) but what I wanted, was around 1500v @ 350mA. I even started using a 40m coil (since it only had 2 turns less than the modified 80m coil) and added some capacitance from an added split-stator cap to resonate the final on 75m, but I find that the last 100 to 150mA of plate current does not result in an appreciable increase in power output. Yeah, I could get 400mA @ 1500v, but the output was only around 200w. Changing back to the previous coil, I can make around 350w of carrier input, but the plate current is only around 240~250mA. 1500v @ 300mA = 450w DC input and I'd like to keep the current up, while I reduce the voltage. It would also be around 5000 ohms of Z, vs a reduced current at higer voltage (say 1500 @ 100mA) is 15000 ohms. HUGE swing in impedance, which makes for a huge difference in audio. If I could get a starting figure on what size capacitor to use, I'd add one. I'd like to use a variable capacitor, but am unsure of the value range. 400 to 1000pf? Less? More? I'm asking...

Re: [AMRadio] FSK mods for Valiant
John I has been a while since I used a loop and keyed a tube trqnsmitter, but here is whaqt I remember. VFO keyers in typical CW/AM rigs are single band devices since the shift multiplies as the VFO output multiples to the next up band. Since the keyer is adding (or subtracting) capacitnce to the VFO circuit , any change if VFO frequency will also change the shift frequency. I am not a fan of AFSK. But if you can generate a carrier with the SSB adapter, think about keying the BFO in that section. Then a single keyer will give you shift over the entire range, and side band selection will give you the choice of mark/space signalling. Byron, W3WKR

I still have a spot on my finger where I hit the plate choke while changing coils in the final when I forgot to turn off the B+. There was also a tubeless VFO that plugged into the 5763 that kind of drifted around the band. A Heath VFO was put in place to address that problem. Big project for a 16 or 17 year old than.

Hello Frank I have an earlyRanger that has a keyer added. Your right, it is a small chassie supported by three long standoff and is positioned above the operate switch.

Hello Mahlon Thanks for the check list, but no. I have checked the things you listed, and they are not the problem I am dealing with at this point. The cam is well lubricated and the pin passes freely in moving from the 160-80 meter position to the 40 and up position. there is no engagement of the pin from the 40-10 meter position to the 11 meter position. That's why I was looking for the official set up procedure. I don't know about the height of the cam above the chassis and it starting position with the vfo switch in the 160-80 meter position. If I knew that was right, I could get the lever with the pins set by trial and error. Just trying to verify the starting position. Thanks for the check list.
