Hello,
I am about to go nuts trying to get a 30K-1 to load into a dummy load.....I
think
I have tried just about every possible permutation with generally poor
results.
The best I've been able to do is about 100 watts out with the plate current
at
about 60% of what the manual says is normal.....I just can't get it to load
any
heavier.
My current setup is this. I am using a balanced output into a 4:1 balun
through
a Bird wattmeter into a 50 ohm dummy load. I have tried various
permutations of the setup as shown in the manual for balanced output but
with generally poor results.
I have tried various settings for the tuner coil taps, jumper in, jumper
out, .....
you name it I've tried it. Could someone please tell me what works for
them?
thanks, 73,
Phil
