[Milsurplus] Loading the ART-13

[Pete Williams]

 Greetings. I've used a 3 gang B/C capacitor on the  output and without  any
problem loaded into 300 ohm ribbon for 80  and 40  into a 

135' off centre fed dipole.

 By doing so you are making the output into a pi coupler and the usual
operating procedures  apply.a bit more complicated as the tx  loading

has interaction with other controls.

The Radio Handbook, Eleventh e3dition 1947 in its conversion feature ,
suggests -'after experimentation  a 100 to 400uufd connected to the  COND

terminal  and then to ground would  suffice.....'.200 uufd was best for
feeding a folded dipole  with 300 ohm twin line on the 3.5Mc. band'

 

Cheers
