Garey, Thanks for your answer. I think I will just use the linear on my other rig, which is a Yaesu FT 1000 MD V. Sincerely, Boyd Garey Barrell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Garey Barrell made an utterance to the drakelist gang --

Garey, I know we need to leave all the finals in on a TR-4 because of the series parallel filaments, but could one leave the plate caps off one or two tubes to cut the power output instead of using a power reducing network ? Boyd W0BUW Garey Barrell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Garey Barrell m

Garey, I knew if you would answer you would know. I think you are right about the db diff in 300 watts. Not very much so may not be worth it. Thanks, Boyd Garey Barrell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Garey Barrell made an utterance to the drakelist gang -

Could someone out there help me with the interface to use between my TR4-C's and the Ameritron AL-811. The ameritron has its own Transmit/Receive relay which uses 12 VDC at a 100 ma when grounded. Is there anyway to use the ALC circuit on the Amp with the Drake ? Boyd W0BUW
