[EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterence to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Drake enthusiasts,
>From my experience, with three L7s that I own and about 8 L4Bs that I've >owned, I have had "different" experiences. Given that the tubes are good, and >the power supply capacitors are known to be good, I can get 1500 watts PEP out >on 40 and 80 meters, the only bands I operate. I generally run only 900 watts >PEP to save the tubes, since the extra 1.5 db wouldn't be noticed on the air >anyway. To obtain that output, I drive it with only 60 watts PEP. If one >sets the driver up for 100 watts output, my amps would be over-driven with >well in excess of 200 ma of grid current, the recommended maximum (except for >Amperex tubes). Hence, it is a good idea to tune the amp and driver >accordingly, and use the ALC if it is compatible with the driver. Note that >the ALC setting will vary from band to band. Just one ham's experiences. Enjoy those Drakes. 73s, Evan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- On Behalf of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Submissions: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: http://www.zerobeat.net Brought to you courtesy of TLCHost.net http://www.tlchost.net/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
