Re: Drake L-7
I am still studying a way to cook my 3-500Z which have not been hot for at least 15 years. The idea is to cook at high current with a low anode voltage, without HF. The maximum rating of the

Yes, a ¡°single diode path¡± would have made it clearer. Thanks for the clarification. What I understood is that these diodes are used to protect the galvanometers in the event of an arc in the

Re: Commander HF-2500 Plate Choke
Hi Riki I own a 1990 HF-2500 which I got from the estate of a local ham many years ago. I had a question about it on this forum last week but through perseverance and much hair pulling, I managed to

Commander HF-2500 Plate Choke
Somebody who previously owned my Commander HF-2500 replaced the carbon resistors in the plate parasitic chokes with a different type of resistor.? This worked fine on low frequencies 160M, 80M, and

Yes, a ¡°single diode path¡± would have made it clearer. Here more then 0.7V are clamped, depends on the meter or meter shunt for grid current. Zener diode can be used as well or a germanium
