Oh, well, this video convinced me that CB rules. I'll dump my "Hambone" license rit now so I can get packed onto 40 some odd channels with my lee nar where I can talk all over the world in the daytime and NO where at night. A place where I can screw up my neighbors TV even though he uses cable. A place where my kids can hear foul language to emulate. A place without repeaters, satellites, data transmissions, and legal high power.....ahhhh....yes, CB rules. NOT!
@dogtagsvette Well, I'm ashamed of my self for rising to the bait! Fact is, I could pick up a CB mike anytime I felt like it. But this guy had a couple of true statements. As Amateur operators, we are at risk of loosing the bands. We ought to be encouraging CB operators to come aboard and license up. It doesn't mean they can't still use their favorite band. The code is gone and the license stuff are things you need to know anyway to enhance your operating. Check local clubs for help...
The blue glow aroud is caused by ionization of he argon, a gas commonly used to keep the equilibrium inside valve´s atmosphere with environment one. It is normal and there´s no problem to valve. The problem shown on this video was Plate Overload that overloaded its power supply untill circuitbreak goes off.
Anyway this is the amazing tube and homebrew projetc. :)
Forgive the ignorance about tube amps.. but once they're gassy, isn't that like the end of the road for tubes? I've only used one tube amp, one tube had a slight blue glow around the cathode (?). didn't use it after I seen that. Nice amps you have btw ( Im a ham, also.)
I love to hear all the comments from all the HAMFAGS................CB rules, while you FAGS lose your bands... I love blowing up these tubes lessen the supply for the HAMFAGS...... HA AH stop cryin & start buyin cauz there aint gonna be many left. My next educatoinal purpose tube tester will be with a lot of NOS Eimac 3cx1500's they make a nice aroura around the anode... but are fun to watch the ceramic burst at the base...........Vids to come
You are the stupidest person I have ever seen. You sure got lot more money than brains and I am sure you didn't get your money from working. You had to have inherited it because your one dumb ass
Haven't you ever been told that whistling when transmitting is one of the worst things you can do to tube-type equipment?? Really puts the tube(s) through severe torment, but I guess if I had a boatload of 500z's lying around I wouldn't mind toasting one every now and then...but my pockets aren't lined with Benjamins so I'm taking it easy on the ones I have and hope they last.
I do not know where you got that info from, they are built to be modulated and provided the CCW ratings are not exceeded they can run all day. with any modulation frequency If not there would be no AM radio. The data sheets for a 3-500z make no mention of any amplitude modulation frequencies to avoid.
Grid to Plate to Filament; with that much ionization going on, the elements become one within the tube. I'm surprised he didn't get a big bang when it went down, and, while he WAS on the air, there must have been a huge 60-Hz hum on his signal because, dollars to doughnuts, the filament is on AC.
Tube was gassy people, his amp on the cb frequency has a carrier tubes don't like a carrier but what do I know I hold a bachelors in electronics and science x ray's lol you people need to go to the legal limit of 4 watts and quit trying to be something your not these amps don't have the right pi or L network for the cb bands or tuned input for it either good luck
