mentioned... "Tom Sevart" wrote in message ... "WB3FUP (Mike Hall)" wrote in message ... 10KV to fire magnetron in counter battery radar. Took six marines to stop me from burying my screw driver in the chest of the asshole that thought it would be cute to push the radiate button. I remember hearing the story of an Air Force tech working on a 30' radar dish. For some dumb reason, someone energized it and promptly microwaved him to death. Some of these stories are hair rasing... and I'm too much of a weenie to stick my tongue on a 9V battery... A Raytheon corporate legend is that one of the engineers discovered the microwave oven principle when a radar melted a chocolate bar in his shirt pocket. When I was in the army at Ft. Monmouth, NJ, we trained on a radar trainer, had a klystron that put out 1W to the horn on the top of the unit. We could put our finger over the horn and feel it get mildly warm from the RF. Big deal. The Real Thing put our 5 megawatts! -- @@F@r@o@m@@O@r@a@n@g@e@@C@o@u@n@t@y@,@@C@a@l@,@@w@ h@e@r@e@@ ###Got a Question about ELECTRONICS?
