Wanted to let you know results Ron. Had a filament transformer that gave me 8VAC, so tested with that. Since I'm squeemish I also had an isolation transformer upstream from the filament transformer.
Output voltages looked fine, only down by a factor of 15. So the acid test, eliminated the filament transformer, and again, looks perfectly fine. Now it's on to adjusting the bias and trying it out. Will have to do the other AC3 I have too. Thanks all, Chuck, K1OM, Alachua FL On 6/12/07, Ron Wagner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Chuch, What I would do is user a 12 volt transformer on the 120 volt input. Ligth up the supply without the rig attached. That would product output on each of the supply lines are 1/10th the voltage. It should not hurt anything too much even if it is miswired. Let us know how it goes. 73, Ron WD8SBB On Tue, 12 Jun 2007, Chuck Grandgent wrote: > Ready to test my AC4R on AC3, but I'm being cautious before plugging in. > > Question: > The AC4R instructions refer to a "white/orange" wire in a couple places.
