Kenwood TL-922A Linear Amplifier

[@oooomoment5739]

Bob, Nice video but you remind me of the guy driving on the Rt95 with his foot on his brake pedal. The brake lights blinking on and off for miles. Once you find resonance of the Pi-Network using the Plate TUNE control there is no need to keep readjusting. Resonance doesn't change with loading control adjustments, it changes when the voltage changes, i.e CW or SSB. So, you are just wearing out the tubes with all the extra keydowns. Set the tune, adjust loading, then take load control a bit past peak power output which will reduce output slightly but it will also lower grid current which is what you want to keep the grid happy. 73

You Still fixing amps?

Robert, I have a TL-922a and I find if I go over about 25w of drive, my grid current goes up over 300ma and adjusting the load doesn't make it drop. Any ideas as to why that might be happening?

Butta via tutto.

Try adjusting the ALC in the back of the amp.

Why does the amp RF meter not correspond with the external power meter?

[@MrTalaue]

The meter shows the grid current on that video. Its a multifunction meter, to show RF it needs to be switched to RF.

i hate to see you guys tuna a amp this way, so hard on the tubes compared to just tune it correct when you first tune.

sirmordrede Tuna is a Fish Bozo.It is Tune an amp so you will know from now on. LOL 😂
