I have a older BC 1F series gates transmitter. I would like to do away with the 845 driver tubes and drive the 833's with a 100 watt PA amp. Does anybody have any Ideas what I would need to match the amp to the driver transformer of the 833's. Don Moore W5FFK Don, I think you would be making

Don, If the PA amp is tube type, just take the audio off the plates of the audio output tubes, and interface the the amp to the grids of the 833's with high voltage transistor emitter followers. This is what John WA5BXO created, and W5OMR does well with his Titanic. I think John can give you t

This was actually a popular approach during the pre-WWII era. So popular that UTC and Thordarson (and probably all the transformer manufacturers) made driver transformers that would match the low ohms output of the PA amp. But I have only seen these in sizes for lower wattages. The biggest one I
