In the development of this power
amplifier, the basic scheme YU1AW was used with small corrections
(pic. 1).
When I testing
linear power
amplifier, the anode voltage was 2.000 V, the anode current was
about 0.5 A,
and the
grid current about 70 mA. The amplifier was powered with 20-25 W,
so I got about 500 W at the output. After that, I increased the input power and I got
about 750 W at the output, with the allowed anode and grid
current.
That is
maximum power of this amplifier. I think that 600-650 W is
optimal power for long life of tubes. I didn't have a suitable
antenna relay, so I made it from two ordinary relays with gold
plated contacts
and placed it
in a
copper box in which I made partitions to separate the input
and output (pic. 15 - 18).
