Here's where we get into individual preferences and prejudices.
I guess I can see where some hams may feel that way about the Ranger,
but my prejudice is for high quality audio over communications quality
audio. And my opinion is suitable for framing or wrapping fish.
Anyway, the Ranger can d

The 6146 screen adjust lets you put the RF out anywhere you want from a
low of ~8 watts to full tilt.
Guess I missed that "detail". Question though... can that change be made
on it's own?
Secondly, I found this contrary statement on another site

Simple and works very well.
Easier said than done how does one see that?

Brian,
Both wires are hot with the ground as a safety connection. Check with
your voltmeter.
By your description do you have a 3 prong 220vac outlet as used for an
older dryer outlet? Or an air conditioner? Any idea as to the wire
size? Is the ground wire the same size as the hot wires?

Hi Brian,
Think of 220 in your house this way (I am assuming you are not in a
commercial facility with 3 phase power)
At the power pole the secondary of the stepdown transformer is 240V
AC end to end with a centertap. The centertap is grounded and
becomes the neutral in your main power pane
Well, I knew my brain had not gone completely dead. Turns out this is
a phasing issue using two different circuits. One is a regular 110
volt going to my exciter. The other is one side of 220 for the 610.
I figure that I used the wrong side of the 220 to be in phase with the
110 used on my exci

Hi Brion;
You can use either side of the 240 VAC (black or red) and neutral
(white). Neutral is ground but don't use it for that, use the safety
ground wire (green). Good luck.

Hi Brian
If the 220 vac outlet is wired correctly
You will have 1 neutral lead, 1 hot 110 vac lead, and a second hot 110 .vac
lead.
Between the neutral and one of the other 2 leads you will have 110 vac
Between the 2 - 110 vac leads you will have 220 vac.

Trying to get a BC610 going and need to hook to one leg of existing
220 outlet, and now I'm just confused to say the least. The 610E does
not have any polarity indicators on the 110vac AC chassis plug. I'm
using a 3 wire 220 outlet with ground, hot and neutral. In order to
get 110, I have to us

If you are considering high level modulation on the 6146's you might want
to change the screen resistor to... generally speaking commercial ham
units use screen resistors to small in value for proper modulation
characteristics...
Check it out for yourself... dig out a tube manual and plug the
