I have been redesigning my (4)4cx300a amp to get the same output on the
bands above 40m that I get on 160 through 40m.
Would anyone happen to
have a schematic on the HT33 amp that uses these 4cx300a's, or would
someone be able to tell me how the tubes are configured in this amp?
I
have been using mine with 2400v on the plates, screens are grounded and
metered for current, control grid is tied directly to cathode which has
a 100 uHy choke to ground.
The drive is placed across the 100 uHy
choke.
On 160 and 80m I get about 750 watts out with 100 watts of
drive, but as the frequency increases, the power output falls off to
where at 10m, I only get 200 watts out with 100 watts of drive.
The
tank circuit and the other plate components are not at issue. I believe
that the problem lies in the input circuit or the way my tubes are
configured...the design is based on an old W6SAI article from his Radio
Handbook 17th edition.
Tnx, Mike WA2VQW
