Re: Loop amp using augmentation (phasing dots)
For temporary files, use the file folder created for that. Makes it much easier for the mods.

Preventing Oscillation with 2SC5551
What have people found to work the best for taming oscillations in designs using 2SC5551 or other high frequency transistors at HF frequencies? Ferrite bead on base/collector/both? Or other

Re: Loop amp using augmentation (phasing dots)
Hi Andrea,
The four augmentation transformers have the primary winding connected 180 degrees out of phase with the secondary winding--that's what the dots mean--the dots are phasing dots. Using a

Re: Loop amp using augmentation
Hello Steve
Thanks for the link, for experimentation and for the comments on making
this LNA.
Would you be so kind to give some hints about the winding method for the
transformers?
I mean, i know

Re: Loop amp using augmentation
Nice to see that someone actually took a stab at this. Many people complained that it was just too complicated, but then you can't achieve much without some effort.

Loop amp using augmentation
Tom Seeger VE3PSZ told me about a YouTube video he'd come across by Alain, a Frenchman, showing a dual stage common base balanced loop amp using Trask augmentation. I admit I didn't understand

Re: Affordable RF Field Strength Meter Recommendations ??
John,
If, when you're transmitting the dog isn't rubbing his hind end across the carpet and your skin doesn't feel hot you should be good to go.
Sounds like a fun project!

Re: MFJ-1886TR issues
Thanks for your comments. I guess you only listen for HF signals as that's all the MFJ and the W6LVP loop amps are good for. Both have high input impedance which are very poor matches to a loop at MW

Re: MFJ-1886TR issues
The amp died in my three year-old 1886 (not the TR) due to a very common issue with these models; water ingress. Over time, the elements (sun, mostly) will cause the rubber gasket on the amp assembly

True. I picked up a somewhat calibrated field strength meter meant to be used for TV antennas. Of course, there is no antenna that comes with it, but it'll tell you the microvolts at the coax
