Yes I have always been told by G3UUR that an ideal turns ratio is around 1.4:1 Now would that typically be with a centre tap on the primary side for the P-P mod tubes? In other words the 1.4 side gets a centre tap? I am also looking at voltage ratios of suitable ready-made old transformers...

Considering the RF amp with 2 x 813's and the modulator with 2 x 813's - what are the equations and math to work out the required wattage, impedance, step ratio etc. And, just how much can one depart from the ideal arrangement and with what effects? ( should I not be able to find the right xm

Steve, There was a series in ER (Electric Radio), by W3BYM, Tom Marcellino. He built an AM 2-813s modulating 2-813s. It is a beautiful looking and sounding rig. Very much in the class of T-368s or BC-610s. Perhaps even better! If interested, I'll hunt through the collection and get

The load that is represented by the final is Ep/Ip = load impedance in ohms. The tube manuals gives the proper plate to plate load impedance for a given voltage and class of operation for your modulators. The impedance ratio for your XFMR would be the (PTP impedance) : (final EP/Ip) Turns rati

Corrections to the last email: Actually Steve, the idea is pretty simple. When using a class C final amplifier the output RF voltage is directly proportional to the plate to cathode voltage. Most of the time the cathode is grounded so we just say "plate voltage" or "plate modulation". This mea
