Re: HT-44 VOX issue - Final Solution!
Finally got back to looking at this problem. In short, the problem is that when sending CW in what Hallicrafters called "break-in" mode (Operation switch in VOX position), the first dit or dah sent is

Re: Halicrafters SX17 transformer
First, let me apologise if I have caused some confusion. The center wire I am referring to is on the 6R7 side, not the 6V6 side. The 6V6 side does also have a center wire as shown in the diagram below
Re: Circuit breaker ratings
Jim, going back some years, MOST situations outside of equipment had thermo-magnetic trips to protect from overloads as well as short circuits. But yes Some large breakers were magnetic, with a

Re: Circuit breaker ratings
Jim, interesting, and I get the jist, but I wonder what the point is. Anyhow, as I read stuff, #18 copper will melt [1000 C nom] at 83 amps yes ,but that happens in 10s , not 2 minutes. That would be
Re: Halicrafters SX17 transformer
John if you really expect it is going to a shield, perhaps try measuring the capacitance to various winding leads. Just a thought out of the blue. don Sent: Saturday, July 13, 2024 9:36 AM To:

Don, The primary is definitely open so yes, it has been declared garbage but that may indeed be worth exploring. Thanks.
