Tube | Svetlana GU-78b | |||
Input network | 50 Ohm, 200 W HF Resistor, 5 pol. Chebychev Low Pass Filter |
|||
Output network | Inductor: 20 uH, Caps: 250 pF var. + 390 pF fixed / 1000 pF var. + 1 nF fixed | |||
Computer control | Plate current (every 5 msec), SWR, all switching functions, no relais switching under power conditions, soft start inrush, 240 sec delay time for full power, turbine blower with 2 speeds. Well regulated screen and grid supply for +ve and -ve currents as well as current limiting to protect the tube and minimize the IMD. It is impossible to override the screen and grid dissipation at any working conditions. |
