Oh, wow! 3CX1200A7's, making RF power with no drive. Can we squeeze an XT-cut crystal in their somewhere to tune the output frequency? * All I need now is a receiver. Lemme trash the MP. Hal _____

It's rated 6kw, but it's been found with a slightly different cooling scheme and the resultant increase in airflow, that it can be run > 9000 watts anode dissipation... Depending on air intake temp...

Hi, Pentalab I don't see how this is AMPS related. BUT I will let it stay as long as there is ROOM in the fileing cabinet. We are at 37 percent usage and this is a very nice file. How about some stuff

Re: New file uploaded to ham_amplifiers
I wonder if you just wrapped a few turns of wire around the end of the input choke with a pick up probe near the tube this phase shift could be controlled. Also may need a LRC network....just dreaming

However, an 8877 is easier to put on 10m/11m than an 8170. Good point, and, as an added FREE bonus, it's instant-on. cheers, Mr. ______?
