That’s awesome congratulations

Thank you

Thank you very much

There not easy to find, when I built this four pill I did it exactly like Carl builts 400hd and he had a blue capacitor on the output and it had 151j 6kv on it so it found some of them on eBay and ordered them, and they worked, here is a link to what ica has for tuning capacitors there’s is a 150 3kv but Iam pretty shure it will work the same, Iam just learning the tuning of these amps, so I don’t really have a solid answer for you, but i pretty shure it should be around a 150 pf capacitor on the output, sorry I can’t help out more www.icamanufacturing.com/shop/p/tuning-capacitor-3kv-150pf-120pf thank you for the nice comment

This is not exactly but the 150 pf ones in this kit should work just fine www.amazon.com/10000pF-Voltage-Ceramic-Capacitor-Assortment/dp/B073TW1XG1/ref=asc_df_B073TW1XG1/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693270340071&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1697612190553412532&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1027270&hvtargid=pla-1649669417969&psc=1&mcid=98f4cb50f8f1387189ce70450d9ec29d

Thank you very much tech nine, I really appreciate it, yeah it’s definitely a big debate over that subject, I’ve heard that if it doesn’t have baising it’s not really ready for ssb , will cause harmonics and splattering, Iam just starting to learn so I really have now idea , I did run across a video rooster radio did where he tested a amp with delay only and one with baising, and the results were pretty close, here’s the link, once again Iam humbled that professionals builders like you check out my videos , thank you and take care 73s th-cam.com/video/vY5Cusvvr0c/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygULU3NiIGJpYXNpbmc%3D

Thank very much for checking in out , I haven’t even started researching baising yet, sounds like you know more than me about it, some people say that without the correct baising a class c amp is not ready for ssb use it will have harmonics, splatter etc, and it very well may be the case, I don’t really know, but I did run across a video that rooster radio did , where he tested a amp with ssb delay only and one with baising, here’s the link, thanks for checking it out and the nice comments, take care th-cam.com/video/vY5Cusvvr0c/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygULU3NiIGJpYXNpbmc%3D

A lot smaller wire than 16g will work fine. Also the double throw switch isn't necessary - a simple double pole single throw switch would suffice in the configuration you used.

Thank you very much for that , Iam just starting to learn the tuning, and that helps, thanks

Thanks I appreciate it

I don’t remember what the hfe was but I did two videos on testing it here th-cam.com/video/FMLdRURvMN4/w-d-xo.html it was peak , Iam just recently trying to learn the tuning process to get more out of the amps

The first video I sent you was with a galaxy 959 and this video is with a connex 3400 a little more drive th-cam.com/video/Z8WFoUgix9M/w-d-xo.html

You are very welcome, I know the frustration of just starting and trying to figure it all out , and that’s why I did this in hopes it would help people just starting, take care

Thank you very much for the nice comment I really appreciate it.

I built one two pill with 2290s but that’s it, hopefully I’ll get back at it soon, thank you for looking

I should have some more builds coming in the future, but for more info on how to build the amps look up gatekeeper amps here on TH-cam, he has a lot of videos on how rf flows through the amps, relays keying circuits inductors capacitors, thank for checking my video out, take care.

Hello , start by watching my 2-pill amplifier parts list video, if you haven’t already seen it, it shows you all the parts for a 2-pill build, and most all the parts come from ica manufacturing, here is a link to there website www.icamanufacturing.com/

Watch this guys videos, he has a lot of them on keying circuit, relays , inductors, capacitors, and how there used in these amps and how rf flows through the amps www.youtube.com/@1883GotDown/videos

Rf transformers type 61 1.25 long 5/8 core , here is a link to ica www.icamanufacturing.com/shop/rf-transformer/type-61---58-core

Your welcome, and that’s awesome, that’s why I did it, in hopes it would help some one else , take care, thanks

Thank you very much

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.

Thanks for checking in out , it’s was fun learning and trying to figure it out, you can do it, thanks again.

I just saw your comment, sorry for the late response, thank you very much, yeah the first time I looked inside a amp I also thought there’s no way I could do it , but like you said gatekeeper bbi and the clown guys were so much help with there videos, thanks for checking out my page, take care.

Thank you very much

Thank you very much for the nice comments, sorry for the late response been busy family stuff, I really appreciate the nice comments, take care and 73s

Oh wow I just looked at your profile and realized who you are, the nice comments mean a lot coming from you , your first two pill clown built and your other videos are among a few that were my first videos I learned from, your kind words mean a lot coming from a experienced builder like yourself, thank you very much 28 Chicago, take care my friend and 73s

My pleasure. Your a great addition to the CB TH-cam world. Keep up the great job. 73’s

Max input carrier of 8w or 180w max carrier out of amp. Max peak input 100w. thanks for checking it out.

Well thank you Mr mad and jealous ham radio operator

Thank you, very much.

Oh wow thank you so much, that means a lot to me coming from a professional builder like you, thank you for taking the time to look at it!

Just calling it like I see it. Nice Work@@frppower1

Okay thank you.

Those are 151 pf tuning capacitors, exactly what Carl built uses in his 200 hd amps so yeah!!

Oh wow thank you so much, that means a lot coming from you, thank you for the nice comments and thank you so much for the tips on things to do, I will definitely do them, I know you’re a very respected builder and iam humbled that you took the time to look at my build, wow, thank you for that and the tips so much, take care and thanks again!

@@frppower1 You are very welcome! anytime I can help when I have time just let me know and I will get back to you. P.S. I use a 180pf on the input of my DD-400-HG 4-Pills but I will try your 220pf to see if there is a change. If it is then I will use it from know on thanks to you. See you it's bed time for me good night!

I found a 180pf little low, 220 pf little high. 200 pf seems to be it for me@@TechNineKOQ1152

Thank you.

Thank you very much,

The input transformer is not soldered to ground, it’s a small block of the phenolic board that is soldered to the rf transformer to space it up , the transformer is not making contact with the board, the copper side of the board is facing up towards the transformer.

Wow thank you for the nice comment.

Thank you

Sorry I don’t do it professionally, just , just tinkering around and learning

@@frppower1 10 4 completely understand

Thank you very much

Iam not shure I’ll check it out thanks

thank you.

Thank you very much

My father got it from ace hardware, he told me that he asked one of the sales guys that he always talked to when he went in the store, could I get one and dad said he ordered him one , that’s my dad’s storie anyway, not 100 percent shure if that’s how he really got it

@@frppower1 That's awesome..no worries..

I typed in a google search and it turned up a few different ones, but there all like $45 to $65 , hope that helps.

Thank you very much

Thanks

@@frppower1 was thinking of try a 2x8 but not sure have to do more research on how to build

yeah ive never built one bigger than that 4 pill,id have to research it also>@@ironhead320

@@frppower1 looks like a lot of work have to think about that
