Migration to Groups.Io

 

Hello to the Brain Trust!


The following group has been set up and paid for...?/g/ham-amplifiers


The Auto-Migration should happen any day and as soon as that is complete I'll kill this one. A couple of people have already figured it out and signed up.


As a side note, they hold you hostage by making you pay for a yearly subscription ($220.00) to use their services, which I paid. While nobody will ever be required to pay to be a member here, any donation to help offset the cost would be appreciated. 100% of the money will be used exclusively for this group and once we reach $220 I'll let everyone know. I'm dino@... on PayPal and @DinoDarling on Venmo. Thanks!?

Cheap CB amps ar very useful for us HAMS

Clint, VE3CMQ
 

I have purchased several of the cheap solid state CB amplifiers.? These things will work anywhere from approximately 100KHz to 30+ MHz.? They are broad as a barn.? However, if you are going to use them on the HAM bands, you really should use a band pass filter.? Not using one will almost guarantee you will be transmitting on many bands at once!? I have modified several of these amps by installing a low pass filter board from a parts radios.? Most of the LPF's I have bought off EBAY will work, although some circuitry will need to be done to change the band of operation.? A simple switch on the front will work.? Maybe some simple frequency determination device would be able to automatically change the band?? I'll have to look into this down the road.? Radio control is pretty easy to do for ICOM radio's.? I am going to do this for my FT-817, once I get it working although that kind of gets away from QRP operation!

Re: Question about HV transformer

GGLL
 

Thanks Lou. I did a search based on component ID's, and found it was a
LPA-2 amplifier, from TMC. Two 8163 triodes.

Unfortunately, the manual lacks the schematic, but the power supply is
quite similar to LPA-1KC model (TMC also).

Many thanks

Regards

Sounds to me you would get around 3300 volts DC after a doubler
rectifier. ?The .3A is probably a CCS rating so at ICAS that’s probably
good for .6 amp. ?In an amplifier running two 3-400 tubes that would be
an input power of about 1980 watts and probably 1100-1200 SSB would be
my guess. ?Lou

GA, I took out the HV transformer (from an old commercial PA, burnt
beyond practical repair, which I guess was for twin triodes 3-400z
style, at least based in the sockets used and the filament transformer
which is a 10 VAC CT, 15A one).

This HV transformer has two primaries (115 VAC each, 50-60 Hz), and one
secondary which states 1200 VAC, 0.3 A DC Doubler

How should I estimate the transformer ratings, in terms of power
capabilities?, I don't understand the meaning of that stated current
value.

I misled you…only an owner/moderator can do this.? In any case, the following clip is from an email sent to me by Yahoo.? You will need to click on the blue “This link” about ? of the way through the document.? An FYI, it will download ***ALL** the groups that are owned or moderated by you.

Dear Group Moderators and Members,

Thank you for your commitment to Yahoo and for helping us define the power of digital communities. Eighteen years ago, we combined the functionality of a site called eGroups.com with a precursor community platform called Yahoo Clubs to launch Yahoo Groups. Since then, you and millions of others have helped prove our hypothesis, by creating and joining more than 10 Million groups.

A lot has changed about the Internet since 2001, including the ways most people now use Yahoo Groups. Today, most Yahoo Groups activity happens in your email inbox, not on the bulletin boards where Yahoo Groups started in the pre-smartphone age. Increasingly, people want content and connections coming directly to them, and this is why we continue to invest in Yahoo Mail -- including the recent launch of a new that is currently the highest-rated email app in the App Store and Google Play.

So, as our users’ habits have evolved, we have begun the process of evolving our approach to help active Yahoo Groups thrive and migrate to our email platform. To help you plan for these changes, below is the schedule of how this transition will happen.

Beginning October 28, 2019:

  • Users will be able to join a Yahoo Group only through an invite from the Group Moderator or by submitting a request to join a Group, which requires approval by the Group Moderator.
  • Since we are moving Group communication from posting on message boards to email distribution, uploading and hosting of new content will also be disabled on the Yahoo Groups website.


Beginning December 14, 2019:

  • All Groups will be made private and any content that was previously uploaded via the website will be removed. We believe privacy is critical and made this decision to better align with our overall principles.
  • If you would like to keep any of the content you’ve posted or stored in the past within your Yahoo Group, please download it by December 14 by accessing .


As these dates get closer, we will send follow-up reminders. More information about the upcoming changes can be found .

While this evolution of Yahoo Groups is inspired by how we see the platform being used today, we know change can be difficult. Here are a few important facts as we make this transition:

1. Yahoo Groups is not going away - We know that our users are deeply passionate about connecting around shared interests, and we are evolving Groups to better align with how you use it today.

2. New groups can still be formed - Users can continue to connect with others around their common bonds and interests. From animal rescues to sporting and activity groups, civic organizations to local PTAs, members of our Yahoo Groups will remain connected and able to share their activities and interests. All of the content that you have shared previously on the website, can continue to be shared via email.

We know that Yahoo Groups is an important online extension of your real-life group of friends, interests and communities, and we are committed to supporting communities that rely on Yahoo Groups. Thanks for coming along with us this far. We look forward to seeing where the technology -- and you -- take us in the decades to come.

Sincerely,
The Groups Team

plate current question

 

what would cause an amplifer to draw a small amount of plate current for a few seconds after you unkey the amp. I noticed today that my alpha 77dx was drawing about 100ma of plate current for a few seconds after i unkeyed the amp. i had been running it hard for about 10 min. after i let the amp cool for awhile it no longer drew plate current for that few seconds after i unkeyed. Seems to do it when the amps been transmitting for a long time.? Also it only did it in the SSB position. when i put the amp in CW the problem when away.
