Old Gear on 2m that works
Posted: Tue Feb 04, 2014 5:28 am
Last night I worked ZL2WHO, ZL2BRG and ZL2TGQ. I am a
FT101zd collector so here are some pic's of the gear.
To the far right is the FTV650b a 6m Transverter. This one has a valve final, a 2002. I replace it with a 6882b a 12v 6146b.
This gear is designed for the FT101 series with sweep tubes and 650v on the plate, not the FT101zd which has 6146s and 800v loaded and up to 900v unloaded plate voltage.
VK3OT had a very usefull mod that takes the plate voltage off the final tuning pi network. At 6m the 6882b is working very hard with 150ma peaks on the meter.
Power out is 50 watts
