Do you have your amp on 10 m? I have the clipper now and I like it very much. I have a slot for 10 m but it’s not on 10. Maybe you could let me know if that’s too much of a job to put it on. thank you Donl K1EMW.
I tested it in 10 but never actually made any contacts. As I recall, the output was lower, as you would expect, and I think I was getting about 500 watts out. Now would sure be the time to get on 10 with great openings to Europe.
Hi, Pat, a hug from the Dominican Republic, I have this Clipperton-L amplifier, 3000Watts, and I want to know how to rotate, and I actually have the radio Icom 735, which is the same one you are using in your video, If possible show a little how it is that you should start doing this. And if you know a little better Spanish, since we do not speak English. A hug and I await your answer. Thank you
@@frankjankovich3512 For years I have made shunts this way since measuring the value is impossible w/o special equipment and the internal meter resistance is usually unknown. Assume we want a meter to read 500 ma half scale. Wire a 9v battery, a pot and a 10 ohm resistor, and a multimeter in series (e.g., Simpson 260). Adjust the pot until the multimeter reads 500 ma. Now, take the meter you want to use, shunt it with a length, say 3 ft, of insulated coil wire, say #28, and substitute it for the multimeter. Now comes the fun part. Gradually scrape off insulation and attach the meter at that point until you get the reading you want, i.e., the meter is at center scale. This is 500 ma. Cut the wire and wind it on something such as a wooden dowel. It's insulated and DC so overlapping the wires is fine. There is free software all over the web for making a new meter face. 73, Pat

You said it was 25 watts out and in the next breath said 20 watts out?
Very nice informations. PV8AL HELIO
Is that a Barker and Williamson watt meter you have ???

Does anyone have a schematic with the grid metering most don’t have the grid metering, would like to add a grid meter
Go here for details about this conversion. The meter circuit is in the schematic cahabatechnology.com/aa4pg/clipperton_GI7B.pdf

Thanks pat
Now what value did you use for plate and grid meter shunts

Mr. Pat, do you have any amps for sale. I would like to have a good condition amp that can run on 110 v and transmits around 6 to 800 watts. W4SRK
