This amp was built by Ameritron in Toledo - not MFJ (good). It is fully upgraded with brand new boards from CTR Engineering (W8JI). He is the original designer of the amp. There are three upgraded boards: Filter Cap board, Rectifier board & Start-Step board. The amp has not been on the air since the upgrades were installed. In other words, most of the circuitry in this amp is brand new. The amp was not purchased new and has an early serial number of 788. I don't know its history but it is very clean. It came with a soft tube that eventually failed though I did not run it hard. This lead me to investigate the VHF parasitic suppression kits then offered by Rich Measures, AG6K (now SK). This kit is also installed and they are no longer available. But FYI, there has been considerable debate over whether tube damage from VHF parasitics is a real thing. There was this hissy fight on-line between Measures and the amp's designer (W8JI) where both behaved like children. W8JI says there is no parasitic problem and the kit has no benefit. Measures says it protects the tube and bandswitch, and also makes the amp tune more easily (which I attest to). Nobody says it does harm. There is a QST article and a rebuttal. The AG6K information is still on-line. Do your own reading. Not many of these amp have the VHF protection. https://www.qsl.net/w/wa5bxo/ag6k/ Also, I've replaced the tube with an Eimac 3CPX1500A7 which is an MRI pull. To check the tube and all the upgrades I brought the amp to Dallas for testing at the Array Solutions / WX0B amp lab. Jay ran the tests with his big dummy load on 40m. Tube outputs 1500w easy at 53w of drive and only 20ma of grid current. This is the way you want to run it for long tube life. We pushed the envelope and got 2250w with 95w of drive, as measured with an Array Solutions Power Master. Tube is good and puts out full power. I have not had this amp on the air at all since the improvements. Price is $2400 with good tube, brand new PC boards and VHF suppression. Prior to MFJ closing the doors, new AL-1500's (without these upgrades) listed for $3900 at DX Engineering WITHOUT A TUBE.

If there is anybody that could help, they would appreciate it. It's a great way to get new operators and maybe new club members. Please contact the person at the end of this message. Dear Sirs/Madam, I trust this correspondence finds you well. I am writing to express our sincere appreciation for the support extended to our scouting activities in the past. Your valuable assistance has significantly contributed to the development of the boys and girls in scouting, particularly through the use of your amateur radio for our annual Jamboree On The Air Scouting event. JOTA-JOTI is the world?s largest digital and radio Scout events, promoting friendship and global citizenship As we make preparations to host Cub Scouts packs in our troop this year, we anticipate requiring your support once again. We are gearing up for our participation in the world's largest radio Scouting event, Jamboree on the Air, which facilitates our Scouts' global connectivity using amateur radio to communicate. Additional information about this event can be found at https://www.jotajoti.info/. The event will offer our scouts and visitors an educational experience in radio technology, encompassing activities such as building a radio receiver, understanding radio waves and their propagation, gaining insights into Amateur Radio operations, and fulfilling their merit badge requirements. Furthermore, the event will enable our Scouts to engage in global communication with other scouts around the world through your Amateur Radio Station. We kindly seek your support and assistance in ensuring the success of this event, which will undoubtedly create enduring memories for the young scouts. We would greatly appreciate your confirmation of your station's participation in this event, and we kindly request that you specify your decision in a prompt manner. For further details about Jamboree on the Air, please visit https://www.jotajoti.info/. Should you have any inquiries or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me via the email address below. I eagerly await your positive response.

I had some problems yesterday with my rotator swap out? 1. Removed existing bad rotator (which was no easy task since the entire antenna and mast had to be raised about 6 inches and held there). 2. Hauled up the rotator I rebuilt which had been resistance verified, but not operation tested on the bench. Plugged it in for a test and it worked (first time). Installed into the tower. Tested again and the damn thing would not turn, no matter what we tried. Seems like the motor is jammed or the brake wedge is not retracting, although we do hear the brake solenoid operate? 3. Hauled up the ?new? $20 rotator, plugged in to cable. No position feedback from the pot!! It is obvious that this rotator had never been installed or even outside. No weathering, paper label on bottom was intact. But still no position feedback from the pot. ? 4. Tested Green Heron output in the shack?all ok. Tested the GH output to the terminal strip in the JB at bottom of the tower? all ok. (We did not test to the connector however? but seems unlikely that the problem is there or in the cable going up the tower?but you never know?!). 5. We then decided to call it a day. ? ? I?m ordering the parts on the document from Mouser so I can bench test the rotators? I just need a small piece of rotator cable? Maybe I have some in the barn and I know I could just use some single conductors, but it would be convenient with some rotator cable. Only need a couple feet? FYI, I did originally swap out the cap in the GH controller, thinking it was the problem, but there was no change when I did that. All voltages coming out the GH seems ok, and resistance checks of the rebuilt rotator were also ok? The SteppIR is back to full height but fixed NE/SW. I had decided to just replace the rotator since contest season is coming up (per Dave?s suggestion). I think I?ll wait till spring for the complete refurb job. We didn?t get to the 18HT, still need to replace the center wire anyway? So much for progress, huh? Comments or tips are appreciated?. 73/161, Allen R.

When you said it worked the first time plugged in before installing into the tower, I assume you meant you tested it up on the tower. If so, a wiring fault would seem unlikely unless it was an intermittent open conductor or connection at the plug that was just sensitive to moving the cable. As you said you never know. Another possibility that comes to mind would be if the mast is in a misalignment bind, or a frozen up thrust bearing. The lack of feedback on the second rotor could be unrelated and just a bad pot in the rotor. I have some rotor cable up at the farm I can bring back with me after the contest next weekend if you can???t find some here in Houston.

No weathering, paper label on bottom was intact. But still no position feedback from the pot. ??? 4. Tested Green Heron output in the shack???all ok. Tested the GH output to the terminal strip in the JB at bottom of the tower??? all ok. (We did not test to the connector however??? but seems unlikely that the problem is there or in the cable going up the tower???but you never know???!). 5. We then decided to call it a day. ??? ??? I???m ordering the parts on the document from Mouser so I can bench test the rotators??? I just need a small piece of rotator cable??? Maybe I have some in the barn and I know I could just use some single conductors, but it would be convenient with some rotator cable. Only need a couple feet??? FYI, I did originally swap out the cap in the GH controller, thinking it was the problem, but there was no change when I did that. All voltages coming out the GH seems ok, and resistance checks of the rebuilt rotator were also ok??? The SteppIR is back to full height but fixed NE/SW. I had decided to just replace the rotator since contest season is coming up (per Dave???s suggestion). I think I???ll wait till spring for the complete refurb job. We didn???t get to the 18HT, still need to replace the center wire anyway??? So much for progress, huh? Comments or tips are appreciated???. 73/161, Allen R.

I have been collecting garage junk for the last twenty five years wed have been here but I brought a truck load with us when we came here. I don?t have a bunch of high power transceivers but some old military test equipment, a sweep generator and microwave pulse generator. I have some modest lengths of LDF ?? hardline. Lots of PVC pipe. We should be home all day tomorrow packing and sorting. John K5VGM 23506 Kings Forest Hockley 281-380-3811 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
