I pulled this out of my junk box... I guess I didn't realize how much fun I had with this thing.. Notice the Radio shack inductors and the Homemade heat sink... That's a genuine Deluxe 1/4" AL3
Heatsink Mr. Douglas...(Old Green Acres Humor)... My original Tin Tuna generated an output in the range of ~200-250mw depending on the PS voltage. The 10dB amp was a follow up to the original Tin Tuna
project in QST... I think it was called the Godzilla amp (UPDATE 12/6/08) It was called the Codzilla amp. It uses a 2n3866. I'm seeing about 1 watt out. The little trimmer on the left is something I added to
trim the final transformer for a better quality output. Notes: 2n5109 works better... Handles more power. ...Stby....... Okay Honey... Oh you want me to talk the trash out after I reset the cable modem, reset the AP
and the network switches??? No problem...Can I rub your feet when I'm done??? 88's Gota go QRT.... XYL calling again.. 73, GE, de KD0ZW AR SK CL. |
