[Johnson] [AMRadio] Two 807s modulating 4D32 final tube in Viking1

[WA5VGO]

The 807's will be about 7000 ohms. The 4D32 will be about 3500 ohms. An exact match isn't necessary. I suggest finding the closes combination that will allow connecting the windings in parallel. The transformer (at least in theory) should be a little hardier if the windings are connected in parallel as opposed to series.

Darrell

I need to know what taps to use. Has any used this poly-pedance modulation transformer in a modulator? Your input will be appreciated. Thanks and 73, John, K5PGW
