[ARC5] ARC-5 Transmitter Power Supply options/suggestions

[Mark K3MSB]

Hi Andrew

I’m using the voltage divider specified by Dave Stinson, which is the same
divider used inside the BC-456 modulator.   I use a variac to control the
secondary voltage of my power transformer, and set the HV to 550V.  The
divider (3 Resistors) takes care of the rest of the voltages.     So, for
this you’d need a HV transformer that can provide 550V and about 200 - 250
mA total.    You of course still need a 24V DC supply of around 2.5 A.

For CW you do not need voltage regulation.
