[AMRadio] critical inductance or load current as you please

2004-09-30 Thread Patrick Jankowiak
A little simulation here, showing what happens to a power supply's output from near zero to a bit of overload, to focus on the area where the bleeder or load current becomes high enough to meet with the 'critical inductance' value of the choke at hand. It makes a good case for a stout bleed. I

Sure it is. Companies looking to enter a marketplace area with a new type of product often send out feasibility surveys. There are companies you can hire that put together the surveys, mail them out, and track their returns. Their ploy is that they're asking for your time to fill out the survey,

Larry, Maybe, I would have to ask. He and a friend bought a truck load of RCA iron, and its stored in his garage. I am not sure who has what iron left to sell, but I know he wants it out of his garage. It would be pick up only in South Jersey. Price is around $200.00 I would guess, these are NEW

That would be hard, but not impossible. You would need to read up on mod transformer construction, find something to use as a core, and wind loads of wire on it, keeping in mind the very high voltages that it would have to withstand. You can buy mod transformers, peter dahl makes new ones, ebay,

One option that isn't discussed often because it is considered inefficient at high power is series cathode modulation. This is accomplished by putting the modulator tube between the RF amplifier tube's cathode and ground. The only apparent inefficiency is that you run the RF amp at one fourth of

the BC250L's grid/driver plate coil is NOT on a bakelite form. It is a ceramic one, 2 1/2 inches in diameter. I still get the exact same grid drive on 160 meters as I did on the broadcast band. My problem still remains efficiency, and maybe I'll just have to settle with 61% and be happy.
