Re: [Elecraft] DL1 Short Term Ratings

I used mine to make the 50 watt adjustments, since my watt meter only goes to ten watts, and had no problems. I limited the key down time to a few seconds, just enough to read the voltage. I made adjustments with the key up and then rechecked the voltage on the DL1. The resistors got qui

[Elecraft] DL1 Short Term Ratings

2008-05-18 Thread WA6OCP
Has anyone determined what the DL1 is capable of for a short time (say 10 sec) in excess of 20W? Besides the power dissipation, one would also have to consider the PRV of the diode. It looks like 50W would stay within the diode's PRV rating. Tnx, Neal WA6OCP -- View this message in context:
