Re: Some observations on linear power supplies
That crowbar circuit in the referenced pdf didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Not that I examined it that closely, it's approaching the limit for what I can see on this monitor. But do you

Re: Some observations on linear power supplies
I last messed with the 723 somewhere in the early 1970s. I'm guessing that this was before the common 3-terminal regulator parts were pretty much everywhere. I have very little reason to consider

Re: Some observations on linear power supplies
Note 3 should read
Add a 0.01uF capacitor with a 27~33 ohm resistor in series across each power rectifier to minimize commutation EMI [radio noise].
I have a nice PDF on diode commutation noise and

Some observations on linear power supplies
First I consider Astron power supplies to be over rated and exist only because "hams have always used them."
I'm amazed [really more dismayed] they get decent reviews.
There are too many

A "magic" antenna
When a member of our shortwave listener club showed me a PA0RDT active E-Probe antenna I almost giggled, being polite I didn't giggle. However I thought "Well PT Barnum was right...one is born every

I've never been able to understand the original stock Honda 350/360 charge system.
It appeared to be a SCR that shorted out the V+ after a

An interesting read, that. I've been pretty lucky, the closest I've come to that kind of an encounter is the other end of the town where I lived before I moved over here. That, and one other

Re: I found a stash of 5 'new old stock' 5CP1 5 inch oscilloscope CRT
At one time 88mH (and other value) inductors were as common as roaches and just about as valuable. Today they are scarce, a quick net search didn't find any 'real' 88mH loading coils for sale.

I have several software programs that emulate the old CRT mark/space vertical/horizontal? display with a simulation on the PC screen. It isn't as accurate as the CRT display, I'd say it's about 60%
