Re: Feasibility Study?
Hmmm. Interesting idea ! Please allow me to share two thoughts. If you sense voltage across the key rather than at the ¡°Probe¡± port, you¡¯ll preclude any even small delay in reducing receiver

Re: Feasibility Study?
Hi, Mike, I share your thoughts. I was thinking of rectifying the voltage from the "Probe" port on the TR Switch to turn on a transistor, which would apply a control voltage across a small relay.

Re: Feelin' Like a Dunce
Thanks for the reply, Mike. Both sections of C12 were horrible. I had restuffed the can with new caps which explains the OPEN and supports your theory. Jeff W8KZW

Re: Feelin' Like a Dunce
Hello Jeff! From the diagram on the back page of my T-R switch instructions (Figure 2) it appears that Johnson is estimating the DC leakage in C12A and C12B, the power supply filter capacitors. That

Feelin' Like a Dunce
It is one of those "I should know this but ..." questions. For the Johnson 250-39 TR switch, Table I presents the resistance at pins 2 and 5 of the 6BL7 as 100K ohms. For the life of me, looking at

Hi Folks, I don't expect any of you to waste a lot of brain cells on this idea, but I thought I'd run it by you to see if you experts might have an idea for me to try: I'm rebuilding a Johnson

Re: Best Microphone(s) For Use With the Ranger II
I myself do not like the d104 that much to much high end for me. I have replaced the elements with electret and some good foam and it makes for a nicer sounding microphone in my opinon. Also you might

Re: Ranger solid-state rectifiers

Re: Ranger solid-state rectifiers
I was concerned about the resulting voltage if the 5R4 is replaced with diodes.? Our line voltage here can be up to 124 VAC and I understand the design line voltage for the Ranger was 115 VAC.?

Re: Ranger solid-state rectifiers
Floyd Hello??? TY for the kind wordsWe retain the 5R4 for two reasons: 1), The additional RF power output achieved with the increase in HV is negligible, and the HV increase puts a strain on HV
