Re: TruSDX FTW
David: you would be correct, if the zener were placed across the RF output. Then it wouldn't work at all. The zener would probably blow right away. I got the impression this zener was placed in

Re: TruSDX FTW
My understanding is that a Zener diode "Zeners" in the reverse direction, but acts as a regular silicon diode in the forward direction, i.e., with a nominal 0.7 V forward drop. Since the transmitter

Re: TruSDX FTW
I prefer units, such as the (tr)uSDX, which does not have a built-in battery. ?That allows me to plug in batteries of varying voltages to safely check the SWR of portable antennas (or operate QRPp at

Re: TruSDX FTW
In theory, an FET subjected to an overvoltage condition goes into Avalanche Mode Breakdown, which is a region where the FET functions like a zener, with a wattage rating equal to the FET wattage

Re: TruSDX FTW
I discussed with Ed Fong (WB6IQN) concerns about installing an internal battery on these radios. You don't want the biggest Li+ pouch cell that will fit. They expand 10-12% radially as they age. You

Re: TruSDX FTW
Doug, I assume you are talking about the USDX radio¡¯s battery. The (tr)uSDX has no internal battery. A charger came with my USDX. Since it is charging 11 V battery, I assume it is feeding 11-12V. I
