Thanks for the post, im getting back into 11m after 30 years, got my trusty ole Prez Washington, D104 and a Sirio Tornado, in my day the ELKIN ruled, but think tubes may be too , well , old fashioned so im gonna take a stab at building this.
I have a 800 watt Elkins mobile and I really like it's character with the singing of the relays and the tubes lighting up when you key up, this bad boy will key 1 watt and swing 1000 on a dosey
There is no instructional video. This was a package with just pictures on how to build it. I guy made this, and started selling it. A CD with amp plans. Then someone copied the CD and put it on the net. And people stopped buying it. Then the plans disappeared from the net as guys who wanted to make the amps and sell them didn't want the plans out there, so s lot of amp builders worked to keep the plans off the net. So I put them up so people can find them and they are always available
that is a nice basic class C 2 pill amp. should work from 25 to 30 Mhz OK. to make AB1 bias take choke from input transformer off ground. place 1N5401 or so diode to ground off choke lead band on ground side. place small cap across diode. place 25 ohm 10watt sand resistor on top of input transformer. put 1 lead to choke and other to .12V switched when transmit. ether a other relay or 2 transistor keying circuit I came up with doing a lot of bias mods. also a copper sheld between input and out put transformer will get rid of the splatter . with a little work this can be a very clean amp. I have a scope and spectroscope to look at 2nd and 3rd harmonics. anyways great amp. OK for FM/CW am will work AM, but splatter some. NO SSB all that clipping will pop a pill.
Right, I laughed when someone thought it wouldn't do but 200 .. so many ways and tricks. I've seen more out of a 2 pill than most 4 pills. There's a limit to push it but I personally wouldn't have a 2 pill that didn't do 400 bird at least.
This video does NOT depict on how to build an amplifier. It is simply a slideshow of an amplifier being assembled in stages. Go to BBI for better videos and narration on building and troubleshooting. You should rename this video.....
Sorry, Royalty free music is tough to find good. As for narrating, I did not make these. These were created by someone else. I only put them up because they pop up here and there on file share sites which expire. i wanted to get these up for reference. You can mute it if you don't like the music. I will be making more in depth videos explaining everything about the amp as well as how to build it.
Hi mate. Thanks for sharing this. May i know how do we do bias on SSB? Is there any component to add in? If you have email, i may contact direct to you
I didn't make these plans. I have them up so people can access the plans. I am not sure biasing one of these dirty amps is worth it. But you don't need to Bias it to do side band. You just need to add 1000uf electrolytic capacitor to the relay coil to keep it on for a moment when the audio on SSB drops low.
Specs say the Toshiba 2SC2879 transistor is a 100 watt PEP transistor. So this thing would do 200 watts. I could live with that. html.alldatasheet.com/html-pdf/30139/TOSHIBA/2SC2879/246/1/2SC2879.html
Look at what variables it is doing 100w in...freq voltage drive bias etc... giving a medium to sayrt with best place to stay within got pure linearity which covers dont care about mostly lol
"I am posting this for education purposes. It is perfectly legal to build as long as it is used on the correct band by a licensed Ham operator, or as long as it is operated into a Dummy load and not transmitted Live." False: if you are not a licensed to be able to own and use such a device and you get a visit by the FCC and you have one in your possession, doesn't have to be hooked up, you are in trouble (intent). At the lest they will confiscate the device, at the worst they will confiscate the device and give you a fine that you can fight in court, but in 90% of those cases the defendant is ruled against and now you have court costs on top of the fine.
So, your wrong. Thanks for commenting. First of all, the fcc can't just show up. I mean they can but you don't have to let them in your home. They would need a warrant. In order to get a warrant they need evidence of probable cause to a judge and the judge needs to approve the law. So why are they getting a warrant now? If your not transmitting with it, what reason do they have to get a warrant??? So if I have tech and I have an amp that higher than my license allows, I can have it. And I can use it into a dummy load. As long as I don't transmit outside of my license. Owning an rf amplifier does not denote intent. If you have never broadcast on it or in any way over the limit, where is proof of intent? Last I checked the FCC doesn't waste time going to random people's house looking for amplifiers.
You do not know a soul that’s happened to. FCC has other shit to deal with than a amp builder . Another bone head Ham. Why I quit after getting my technician class. I can’t stand the low end of the band bone heads that thing they screw Mr FCCs daughter & now they are Mr Know it all. KG4ENZ.
Not worth the hassel. One can find these 2 pill amps all over the place using both Pill type MOSFETs and Transistors. No plans or parts list furnished anyway so why bother. A very usless waste of your time making this low power class C amp. A waste of my time watching it (most of it that is). Desert Fox.

I built a few of these with less info then this video provides. This is a really good "how to" . I enjoyed it. Thanks for uploading.

Dude first of all before the video even began what a great intro!!!!
A link for parts would be great though.
Not found AMPPLANS in internet. Please is possible to send me the PDF?
couldn't handle the music, a real acid trip.
Sounds pornish😅
One 2SC2879 Pill or Transistor supposedly is good for 100 watts according to specs. 2 x 100 = 200 watts. I could live with that.
Anybody got a link of a video actual instructional video?

How do you tune amp

That's to cool neat and clean job great builder.
I had to mute it - then realised it was nothing more than an animated slide show... Ugh!
what model are the in and out toroids? Best regards
Donde tiene el filtro final para quitar los armónicos y espurias
No hay nada en estos amplificadores para eliminar los armónicos. Estos son amplificadores sucios de clase C.
Do one with hg 2sc2879

lots of missing info. such as values of output cap and input cap; and no mention of tuning input cap. but hey its only a video
In the first 30 seconds you didn't get the clue?
where can I get a kit to build 100 watts
where can you get the pc boards , are these something you have to create yourself , meant with the transistor's already drilled or cut out
WWW.ICA Manufacturing.com
great proyect , thanks for share !!!!!!
you started out good in the video but did not go into all details of what goes where
There doesn't look to be " Any Bias " if so , It's completely useless for SSB .
no parts list
As frustrating as buying the DYI kit from China with their pathetic Chinese to English translation! No ticky, no launry.
Great video I will prefer for it to be narrated I wish you make cleaning more videos
Very neat. 👏
Numerous photos of a diode across the relay coil ...🤣🤣🤣
I bet half these people have no idea what that diode is used for...
@@johnmiller8201it's one way switch for electric current dummy
I love the Wargames introduction!

can i built 1500Watt amplifier to my car?
You can build anything how much money u got is the question
I agree with shotguntalkshow the music SUCKS. Background narration would have been informative. Otherwise good video

Pill? what kind of Pill? Bayer aspirin ? Will any pill work, I have lots of unused pharmaceuticals or is over the counter good enough?
Unused pharmaceutical's are the reason you made that stupid comment... Duh
Must be a ham...
Watte??Thank you73

A 2sc2879 is a 120 watt RMS transistor. A pair can peak 300 with a decent drive radio. A 2sc2290 is a 80 watt RMS semiconductor.
Read that link.
@@vsmichael1 Ok cool!
Look at what variables it is doing 100w in...freq voltage drive bias etc... giving a medium to sayrt with best place to stay within got pure linearity which covers dont care about mostly lol
aggravating soundtrack
No real paper plans and parts lists just a video that needs narration. Really glad I stopped watching 1:08 into it. Clear as mud.
Wouldn't do you any good, you didn't comprehend the first 30 seconds of video.
Google it bitch.
im in dubstep hell
Yet not one component listed no names of parts needed. No instructions... How is this a how to video...
It's a video because it's ... A video... So... This is up for historical reasons. Not really meant to be a build guide.
@@dr07828 could you make a beginner video and walk us through the names of parts and show us how to build one. Part1-5
Please
@@ghosthunters594 I had toued with that in the past. But it gets very technical when tuning. Understanding of transistors and RF is kind of needed.
Did you not read the first 30 seconds?
@@dr07828 well don't name it how to build a 2 pill linear amplifier when it's not!
It would have been better to narrate the video than using that silly music.
Sorry, just can't watch this video with the music. Annoying.

Total parts 165 bucks... Buy one ready made 325 bucks. Do the math
Your comment is a waste.
You look like you was mom & pops waist of time as well.
Well shit, this video is just showing off but teaches nothing to anyone that wants to build a linear amp!
Music *SUCKS!!!*
