    You continue to impress…
    Thank you !
    When I was much younger and with minimal training, I bought a spectrum analyzer to tune several duplexers for a public safety organization I belonged to. It was roughly the same price, as it would have cost to send them out for professional tuning.
    I was a total IDIOT and connected the output of a Motorola 110 watt UHF (70cm + up to T-Band) P25/analog repeater DIRECTLY to the input of the Rigol 7nit. POOF and even a bit of smoke…🤣
    10+ years later, I’m still clueless, but a bit more experienced. 🙂
    I have a Telewave 44 watt meter that does not require “slugs”. It has a non-adjustable RF sampling port built in.
    They claim The attenuation is variable, but there’s no external adjustment, so I’ve been way to chicken to connect it up.
    This project seems ideal.

    Since all die-cast aluminium boxes are actually trapezoidal viewed from the sides, I always think they look much better with the lid as the bottom, and labelled that way up! BTW, I wouldn't put 100W into that tabbed 50ohm resistor for too long, they need a LOT more heat-sinking than that metal box alone can dissipate after some minutes of operation. A big finned heatsink thermally pasted and bolted to the top surface would really help there. The little switch could also be bigger as it may not like the SWR if the dummy load fails or it is accidentally flipped at 100W. Those switches are usually rated 250V at 50Hz, not at HF radio frequencies.

    • @TonyAlbus
      @TonyAlbus  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Hector, for high power you indeed use the passthrugh and use a proper dummyload. for small power this is ideal for quick testing.

    Using the short length of wire is what we, in the US, called a "gimmick", which acted somewhat like a capacitor. They were used in some PA neutralization circuits.

    Why not add this sampler circuit to the inside of an antenna tuner (such as the MFJ Versatuner)? As a matter of fact, I've done that already. By positioning the torroid core around the wire lead to the input to the tuner from the transmitter, the remaining circuitry fits nicely into the Versatuner box. There is plenty of space to mount the pot and sampling jack on the rear of the box. Then, no matter which output is chosen for the Versatuner (dummy load, antenna 1, antenna 2, etc.) an adjustable sampling signal is always available at the sampling jack without siphoning off any of the signal through resistor dividers.

    I love this design! I have been wondering how to do this very sort of thing for HF and VHF ham. For UHF and higher, I'd just use a directional coupler, but that isn't going to work well for VHF and lower. I watched your functional test, too. Would you mind doing a frequency response test of this roughly for the ham bands, say 2 MHz through 150 MHz? Curious about reflections/loss on the through line and the output levels on sample. It seems to function perfectly at 11 meters. I'm curious if the metal film resistors will go inductive in the VHF range, and I'm curious how linear or even usable the torroid output will be over such a broad range (6+ octaves). Love the idea of a mini-antenna bnc port for sampling. Thank you for sharing this!

    • @tomsmith3045
      @tomsmith3045 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I just re-watched your second video - I missed the SA tests that you did the first time I watched it! So looks like the fixed output is flat and the torroid, understandably, isn't. I think I may make one with two resistive taps, one fixed and one variable, and maybe substitute a cermet pot for wirewound. I know cermet isn't as rugged or high quality but it should be less inductive.
