"I am not quite sure how to translate this to volts at the output. Or
can I put in ten watts and only see the needle twitch on a 30 Watt FS wattmeter at the output and consider it done?" Neutralizing a triode is not rocket science. If you are using a final with a lot of plate dissipation, they do not get hurt when the neutralization is not right. In the old days, many hams simply fired it up and tuned the NC until bad things stopped happening. they did it with high voltage on. Some of them got shocked. A 30 watt FS output meter that barely twitches when driven by 10 watts and the NC tuned for minimum may be enough. All you need is good enough. No extra points for perfect neutralization. To test, put a load on the amp and remove exciter. Turn on and tune input and output tuning and see if it takes off. If it does, back to neutralizing step 2. If it works as supposed to, then connect the antenna and start calling CQ DX. 73, Colin K7FM |
