Transmits fine Bill!

I have not experimented with correct bias setting but I was running more than 100 mils bias.. That board got displaced by the new toy uBitx.. I'll be back to it later later. At 01/02/2018, you wrote: Also… have you had it on the air like that yet? |

From what I read, bias should be between 300 to 500ma.? Can anyone confirm this? I like your socket idea, Raj.? Very good idea.? Makes experimenting easier. Marco - KG5PRT? On Feb 1, 2018 8:09 AM, "Raj vu2zap" <rajendrakumargg@...> wrote:

Standing current in the G6ALU 20W amplifier with two D16HHF1 in push-pull is set to 250 mA each Regards Lawrence On Thu, Feb 1, 2018 at 4:56 PM, M Garza <mgarza896@...> wrote:

Thanks! I was looking at this schematic: It showed different current levels for the bias. Marco - KG5PRT On Thu, Feb 1, 2018 at 10:43 AM, Lawrence Galea <9h1avlaw@...> wrote:

Farhan recommends 100ma for the push-pull IRF510's on the uBitx.

More is better, you get into a more linear region of the FET. But more means more power getting sucked from the battery if portable, that power gets dissipated as heat in the FET's. I'm going with 100ma. With a 500ma quiescent drain current when using a 24v supply, each FET is dissipating 24*0.5 = 12 Watts. That's a lot of heat. Back of to 100ma and it is only 24*0.1 = 2.4 Watts. Which still seems plenty. You want to be very careful when adjusting those IRF510 gate bias trim-pots, take it too far and those IRF510's might be trying to dump 100 Watts or so.

Jerry, The bias amount I was referring to was for the RD16HHF1s, not the IRF510s. Thanks. Marco - KG5PRT On Thu, Feb 1, 2018 at 1:42 PM, Jerry Gaffke via Groups.Io <jgaffke@...> wrote: Farhan recommends 100ma for the push-pull IRF510's on the uBitx. |
