Nice and neat build just what I like to see, good job. You can also put a 103 or 104pf cap from the hot to ground to trap the RF from the fan. If you want to put a diode on the hot buss to ground, and a snubbing diode on the relay between the positive and negative. Also try using a 33pf cap on the bypass of the relay to ground to lower the pass thru SWR. everything else looks good. Keep up the good work! from your friend The Professor "Tech-Nine" of Tech-Nine Technologies.
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!
Looks great . You have an awesome DX desk setup I saw when you scanned over there to show your Carl Built . Super !! Keep up the good work . Ive always wanted to learn but I keep making excuses . I think for real this time next year I should be finished with a major radio project and actually be able to get a few things and start . Until then , I’ll keep following along and enjoy your content . 73’s
Beautiful job sir. I love your shop. Wow! I noticed the input transformers soldered to the board. I’ve never seen that before. Not gonna lie,I kinda like it 73’s from 28chicago. God bless.
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
First of all, I wanna thank you for your videos. I truly learned a lot from you. I actually built the same box. Your four pill seems to work fine however I can’t seem to find that blue output, tuning capacitor. I don’t know if there was a mistake on the numbers or whatbut maybe you can correct that for me if you don’t mind I appreciate it and I thank you so much again
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
Good work man. Question: very curious about the yellow strip nut/bolt thread checker hanging on your wall. I use those when in the big box stores..didn't know they sold those?
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
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

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

Thank you very much
Looks Nice to me Good Job!
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
keep up the good work
Thank you very much
great to see your 4 pill build .i want to build an amp the same specs .what would the max drive input be ?
Max input carrier of 8w or 180w max carrier out of amp. Max peak input 100w. thanks for checking it out.
Great job!!!
Thank you
4 pill
❤❤🎉
nice build theres still a couple more things i would do to it if you need some help or tip and tricks just let me know..

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
