Re: HT-37 transformer failure due to rapid STBY-->OFF-->STBY
Last week, a new power transformer arrived for my HT-37 transmitter, ordered through DigiKey.? The same Hammond/Dahl transformer is used in the HT-32 series.? All wiring is PTFE.? HV wiring at the

Re: SX-101 A Drift
If you mostly operate CW (as do I), did you check the "drift" on AM? Could be the BFO? TomW3TA

Re: HT-37 transformer failure due to rapid STBY-->OFF-->STBY
Thanks, Randy, for letting me evaluate the transformer from your failed HT-37! I found that all windings are isolated from each other by at least 100 megohms, as measured by a Keithley 2100 DMM.

Re: SX-101 A Drift
Thanks for asking!? You questions made me look at this problem critically!? I only work CW on 40 and 20, so my remarks will be confined to that area of operation!The drift is not as bad on 20 as 40,

Re: SX-101 A Drift
What is the nature of the drift? That might be a clue. Is it steady in one direction or does it drift back and forth. Does it jump (jumping is frequently due to bad silver mica caps). Can you get to

HT-44 rough CW note in transceive mode
I was checking out the HT-44 operating in transceive mode on CW with the SX-117 this evening.? Monitoring on a separate receiver, I see and hear that the CW note is rough.? If I operate in "normal"

Re: SX-101 A Drift
if it drifts still after 6 hrs i would look for a bad mica cap in the vfo also. 73 Tony wa4jqs Anthony W.(Tony) DePrato WA4JQS Extra Since 1962 CQ DX HALL OF FAME #35 HONOR ROLL CW RTTY PHONE #1 MOST

Re: SX-101 A Drift
No, I have not checked that. I will check it when I pull it apart.? Adding it to my list! Even after its been on for maybe 6 or more hours it still drifts.

Re: HT-32A Test point
The plate voltage series resistor is? of course a really good way to measure idling (or any) plate current.? And the best way to set the bias voltage. But be VERY CAREFUL.? When you're using a

Re: HT-32A Test point
That is the test point used to set the bias (PA idle current). See section 4-10 of the factory manual. For a helpful mod for adjusting idle current see: ht32-37-plat-i-mon-mod.pdf

Re: My HT-45 HP-45 project.
It's looking pretty good!? 2800V should easily get you about 600W or more? if it doesn't drop too much under load! Running 3KV through an octal plug is very scary though!? You might want to

Hi John. That's the factory supply and original transformer. It came with fins! You can see them in the manual photos. Somewhere along the line, the 866As were replaced by a pair of solid state
