DW Holtman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for all of the great help that I received from this fine group. I swapped out the 6HS6 with a 6AU6 and it now puts out around 100 watts on 40 meters. I'm going to do more cleaning, loosen and re-tighten the hundred or so small sheet metal screws that hold overything together on the chassis, to help make sure that everything is properly grounded. An alignment and I should be on the air.
73's DW Holtman WB7SSN Hi DW, If you have a good 6AU6 you can use this as a substitute for testing your rig. The 6AU6 has the same base pinout but slightly less potential gain than the 6HS6 so your output power may be somewhat less but should be close to normal. You can also test your 6HS6 using 6AU6 settings on your TC2. If you suspect the 6HS6 as being bad, look closely for either an open heater or inter-element shorts as otherwise it should at least produce some output in your T-4XB. If the tube is good, check related components in this stage. Good luck and 73, Rodger WQ9E ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------
