Default Re: Valve Linear Amplifier project

I am curious why you want to increase the output power of a Yaesu FT101 by a factor of two, or to be precise 3dB. This will only give you half and "S" point increase at the received end. To make a real difference you really need to increase a transmitters power by a factor of 10 to make 2 "S" point difference.

Rather build an amp with a pair of 813s in grounded grid. Good 1 kW out on all bands except 10.
