I wonder if the bias circuit resistors (wire wound inside) are generating an inductance that is effecting the input tune? To me that explains the swr dipping with modulation because the inductance they generate changes with modulation/rf output bringing the tune in and out because the inductance value changes under load ? . I've been warned against using wire wound resistors in RF tuned circuits because they are also inductors. I have also been warned about using disk capacitors because of piezoelectricity they can generate in RF tuned circuts . Disk caps can act like microphones and oscillate causing a circuit to fall out of tune . So add the both together and now you can't tune a circuit who's required tuning parameters change with RF level change . In conclusion I assert the wrong type of resistors in the bias circut and the use of disk caps in tuned circuts have become common accepeted mal practice. My opinion . Open to being convinced otherwise. 73
Glad to see you posting videos my friend! Always enjoy them!!!
Welcome back.
Nice. I need one of those. Maybe one day. ✌✌
The Swirls........ 3MADE!
You made a vodeo about tuning on this box a year ago when you built it....or at least it looked the same.
Excellent-3 -Made

I'm surprised you don't mark the date of birth inside the box.
i dont want to assume its age

That's the whole point of memorializing a date inside the amplifier. Nothing to assume then.

Get back in your BOX! Box.
Who knows ! Iv seen all of the ways work and not work .. China parts is what's wrong with everything now days
Can I run a 250 box, powered by a power supply, 30 amp 12v. Connected to my 2000?
I'd run 150 pep at the most on am and 75 drive on ssb
@@3madeamps awesome info. I have 5 boxes, 3 are 100w. I'll pick one of those. Thank you sir
