Step by step getting closer

[@JamesHalfHorse]

You are doing awesome work. I hope to build some soon.

[@NeedleBender785]

Thanks!!!

[@Dallas-Rife-UDX-347-Tennessee]

Coming together nicely !!

[@NeedleBender785]

Early initial testing show 20W in SSB gives 3000w out.

[@AB1Vampire]

Needle Bender looking good!

[@david-uy4jo]

great job i have built only small tetrode amps like a 4-400 a and 4-125a but never a big tetrode they are challenging ,at least they are for me compared to a triode for sure.great work your doing.

[@NeedleBender785]

@@david-uy4jo Yeah way more fun then a triode.

[@kd4yal1]

That thing is loud :)

[@NeedleBender785]

@@kd4yal1 Yes, one of the downsides of a large tube is blower noise.

[@mustang131radio]

Looks great. Gigavac to the rescue?

[@NeedleBender785]

Either that or Jennings, either way I will be getting mine from max gain systems.

[@keyboarderror1]

So with 22 dB of gain 100 watts of drive should get around 15 kilowatts out? Can't wait.

[@NeedleBender785]

Probably my mains power wont be able to handle that much but I wanna see 12-13kW with a 2 tone SSB test.

[@robertmeyer4744]

Never had a China relay last in RF circuit. Once finished this will be a test for your mains power. 73

[@minibikemadman]

are you still building ldmos boxes..im looking for a water cooled unit but without the pump rezzie or heat exchanger.

[@NeedleBender785]

@@minibikemadman Negative. LDMOS has been discontinued at the end of 2023.

You obviously know what you're doing. Otherwise, you'd be dead.
