Re: LTSpice simulation of uBitx Power Amp
Hmmm,
I'm not assuming anything about drain loads, only that the load on the output of the transformer should be 50 ohms.
The LPF's on the uBitx and WA2EBY are symetrical, 50 ohms in and out, no

Re: LTSpice simulation of uBitx Power Amp
Very good, Jerry.
However, note that the output is NOT 50 ohms until AFTER the LPF.
The input to the LPF is somewhat lower. And the WA2EBY has a voltage advantage
over the 12V input to the drains,

Impressive.
But what's an SER?
When I google "transistor SER" all I get is a bunch of Spanish language pages.

Re: LTSpice simulation of uBitx Power Amp
I've now uploaded an LTSpice simulation schematic file that allows easy comparison of the uBitx and WA2EBY finals,
also a pdf version for those who have not installed LTSpice:

Bill:?
Sometime ago I read about a transistor that can handle a 65:1 SER. Do you know anything about the device?

Re: RD16HHF1 in the uBITX

Ha! Re-designing the transformers is most of the tricky work. Yes; you will have to do that.
It might require some experimentation. Try to use FT-61 hog-nose material. I think it will be more
or less

Excellent, thats what I am hoping to get to.
So the bias will need re-adjusting... Easy....?
What about the input and output transformers? I assume this will need modification due to the differnet

Two RD16HHF1 parts replacing the 510¡¯s will do that.

Re: [SPAM] Re: [BITX20] Higher voltage for Bitx40 Final
Did you re-bias the 510s when you changed the PA voltage? If not, theoretically this could happen if the bias were set right on the edge of class ¡°C¡± operation.

Somebody already did the amp for you:

Unfortunately, it requires 2 or 3 watts going in for full output.
So we still have to bring the uBitx

Re: #ubitx Current draw when transmitting?

Touching back on this, it's feld-hell's lower duty cycle that was causing the lower current draw.

Check this socket trick below that someone else posted. Then fold the RD
device over and screw it to the case. Tab is not hot any more. Re-bias.

Well, it's nice. But you still have to design the amp.
