[Central-Electronics] 100V battery...

Thu, 17 Jul 2003 04:36:23 -0500

Hi DK,

Don't use the plug-in clipping module. Remove it and make
up a jumper....I used an old tube base with the two pins
jumped - I don't remember what two pins but you can
figgure it out from the schematic....
I ran about 30 years with my 100V/600L combo without the
module in and just watched the 600L plate meter to be sure
I didn't overmodulate....
Rule of thumb - - momentarily inject full carrier, note max
reading on meter and then don't kick needle more than
half way up when modulating....That's the 600L meter!
I never in all those years got a report that I was overdriving....
Good luck!

Ken....N5CM....NNN0FKQ....
