I guess what I really wanted to do is make a PA
for all bands with a plug in PCB. That would have the right size coils etched into it for each band. So when I change bands I would just unplug one band PCB and plug in another PCB for the band I want. Rather than a band switch that would arc out. Or a roller inductor that I would have to turn to the right number of turns to get to the band I want. Alot cheaper to plug in PCB's than the price of a band switch with lots of wires or roller inductor. This would eliminate trouble switching to 10 meters with a band switch I suspect. I'd use an edge card connector to plug the coils/PCB into and out of an edge connector. That sounds rather like the Norcal Sierra design. The pluggable band modules on the Sierra use toroidal coils for the band-specific lowpass and bandpass filters. The PA itself appears to be a broadband design. -- Dave Platt AE6EO Friends of Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |
