Welll, A long time ago I tried the DowKey route, After experiencing the "Zorch" phenomenon, I went to the E.F. Johnson TR switch. Mainly for the power handling capabilities, but also for the small amount of amplification to the receiver, when in receive mode, the TRswitch RX output is around 150 -

Thanks Jim... I have tried two times to get a Johnson TR switch on the auction block, but both times they got completely out of reason on price, I thought. I'll keep looking as I agree, that would be a great solution! I had to pull the RF section off the "E" model to replace an over looked p

Hi Rick, Try Frank, W4FRL.[EMAIL PROTECTED]423-727-0333 He had a Johnson switch at Shelby and I don't believe he sold it. I believe he was asking $70.00 for it, but he likes to trade. Be aware that all those electronic switches are TVI generators of the highest order. My KW amps are

Tubes like the 75th and 100th sometimes had caps on the grid, the modulators in my 30k1 had caps for the grids. I suspect they were supposed to have caps but they were 'extra' from eimac? I would have to dig in the books to find a circuit for a single ended? triode final, then look at the compon

Thanks John. I sent Frank an email. I appreciate the insight on the TVI situation. I am TVI free as it stands thanks to heavy shielding and filtering of the BC-610-E and I sure don't want to awaken that beast! I have great, tolerant neighbors, but I don't think they would stay that way if I

Yes, I will check the fil voltage as soon as I have time. There is no bias supply. But both decks have large tapped resistors on them that were probably used for bias and perhaps other voltages. You're right about the 806--that would be a possibility--I hope not though because I don't have any. 73

It might end up being what I make it. I don't have any Amperex tubes that fit this descriptiuon and no 806's. I do have 250ths and it probably would not be a crime to go to a clip on the grid instead of a cap. Or I could work with the 810 which I have also. But I don't want to start buying oddball
