ART-13 Part 3 - Autotune and Grid Current!

In this video, I show the autotune feature (made for video!). And I solve the issue of no Grid and Plate current.

Anxious to hear the solution to the RF current mystery. Thanks for the great videos! 🙂

Thanks, yes I have to get back to this radio. This winter for sure. Stay tuned.

Thanks for taking the time to make the video, the electromechanical beauty and sounds are so neat. New comparable solid-state rigs you flip a switch and things happen that you had no insight to there's just no comparison. Thank God for modern avionics but picturing a radio operator in the B-29..

Thanks for your comments. I would not want to be a radio operator during a bombing raid trying to operate this thing! They truly were the greatest generation.

Thanks for the update, good job.

On the antenna I had to use a "door knob cap" on the hot side, ask Jeff about it and he will hook you up with the value.

Great video. I have a ART-13 that smoke came out of the multiplier section. A real bummer. I had to remove the multiplier section and found a 10 watt 1k ohm cathode resistor burned out. I found a 500 pf cap had shorted to 150 ohms. It was a chore removing the multiplier module but I got it working. David KA5IXE

Thanks very much. I still have a TON to learn about this rig. And I haven't had much time to play with it. Still need to make more videos on it, thanks for the comment
