Its phase shift that does that, and phase shift mostly happens in iron I think. It sure sounds like one transformer is bad... Brett N2DTS - Original Message - From: "John Coleman" To: "Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service" Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2009 6:21 PM Subject: [AMRad

That is a possibility Dennis however there is little if any difference in the open loop gain of the two circuits or their output level before clipping about (40 watts). I was thinking that perhaps the primary wires were color coded incorrectly, as I am nearly positive they are, and the secondary

It sounds like you may have a shorted turn in one of them, NOS notwithstanding. It has happened to me, and it forms a tuned circuit resulting in a phase shift as it is an LC network now. 73 de W7TFO On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 3:21 PM, John Coleman wrote: > > This is maybe a little off subject here

This is maybe a little off subject here but I ran across an interesting thing. It may be of interest for someone building higher quality speech amplifiers of modulators for AM. While constructing two identical amplifier circuits with inverse feed back for a stereo operation, I discovered that
