RF Amplifier Building Concepts For Beginners - CAPACITORS

[@williammoss1310]

I guarantee you...this is MUCH APPRECIATED amongst the community!! Keep on keepin' on, duck plucker!

[@1883GotDown]

Proshate it me fellow duck plucker, Better to be a Duck Plucker then to be a Duck being Plucked :) The thought of the day :)

O my goodness my brother I can not tell you how I appreciate what you are doing for me. I am ready for the next one, and you are so right amp builders do not want folks like me to know how to TUNE an amp. Transformers, the main relay I am setting in north east Alabama on look out mtn. ready to learn God Bless you.

[@1883GotDown]

I have defiantly heard of look out mountain before lol that is for sure. If you read in between the lines with my other videos and such I technically teach you how to do what I call shunt tuning. Little here and little there.

[@levonsmallwood6078]

Shunt tuning? Rainmaker here Hudson Valley NY USA 🇺🇸 waving

[@thomasmize8842]

@@levonsmallwood6078 Just a slang for tunning the input and output to see which "shunt" capacitor(to gnd) that you'll need to put the circuit into resonance. Good to hear from ya Rainmaker!!! Hope all is good with ya!

[@BobMellor1954]

Wow, considerable content, probably took me 2 weeks at college to cover the same. Viewers have now learnt that Resistors have the electrical property Resistance that is measured in Ohm's and Capacitors have the electrical property Capacitance measured in the unit Farad, (and a whole lot more) great work. By the way, If you have only 2 resistors in parallel or 2 capacitors in series, then the total value can be found using the Product / Sum method. As an example, 2 resistors of 100 Ohm and 150 Ohm in parallel - 100 * 150 / 100 + 150 = 15000 / 250 = 60 Ohm's. Once again, thank you for your valuable work, looking forwards to Inductors 73's Bob

Very good points!!! Hopefully people will look down at these comments. I should edit the videos and put in if anyone would like to add to this information please leave a comment at the bottom. Thank you very much for adding to this bud. Make sure to check out some of my other videos if you get a chance. 👍👍👍

[@chasedanley9760]

These videos are so helpful. Very educational. Some of it I knew but alot of it I did not. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Can't wait for the next video on inductance. 585 on the coast of the Magnolia waving 73's bump bump!

[@1883GotDown]

Hey buddy, the way I look at it, if I can help one person then the video was worth it. My buddy I made these for didnt get to start helping me like we planned so I thought it would be worth releasing them to see if other people can get something from the videos. So I am very glad to hear this. Make sure to check out my other videos when your able.

[@4InTheHills]

Thank you! So much appreciation for this. Each one teach one!

[@1883GotDown]

Indeed... please make sure to check out the description and buy me a coffee ☕ if you would like

I really appreciate these tutorials.

Your very welcome buddy!

Not sure if I have seen you on here before...if it is your first time on my channel? Welcomed!!! Make sure to check out some of the other videos when you get a chance.

teaching combiners. teaching input and output tuning as well.

[@1883GotDown]

@@bossman-91 lol lol tunning is going to a gray area lol one of those things that I usually only straight out share with people personally one on one. You usually will never see a builder teaching how to tune for everyone to see. Anyone can build but tunning is a different ball game. I habe taught a few people how to shunt tune but tunning networks is a different thing. Im bound by secretary on my method because it was taught to me by a direct link to Dave who designed the network most of us use. The ole LC Network. :)

I need some of those pretty variables like in this video

how about capacitor for output 5.8ghz before antena...😅 i lost it on i'm install antena socket

Goodness that high in Frequency lol im honestly not sure 😅

[@terrencezellers9105]

polarized passive components. My mnemonic is "short to ground" ... something that as an event usually results in a puff of magic smoke escaping, but as a mnemonic, works well. to remember how to find which is which on an otherwise unreadable polarized widget. Of course it depends on the convention that ground is connected to the negative of power supply. Related is "cats are always negative" to remember the meaning of "anode" and "cathode". Not quite so infamous as "bad boys ...." but works for me, and I can never figure out resistors anyway as "gold" looks like yellow, and silver and grey are too close to white on an old resistor. Thank gods for cheap quick component testers.

What do you mean by seriously?

[@gruntohseven5803]

The folks that call Pico Farad, "puff",do they call Micro Farad "muff"?

[@1883GotDown]

LoL now that is a good one....I never started the habit of puff i still say pico Farad. So Farad would be Fuff lol thanks for stopping by the channel bud and commenting.

[@3madeamps]

you said you qiut smoking

[@1883GotDown]

Use that tool between your two shoulders....I haven't smoke a cigarette in about 2 years so what does that mean big guy?? If you get the questions right you win a lot of pennies 😅🤣😅😅🤣

[@3madeamps]

@@1883GotDown you said in the video you need to quit smoking

[@1883GotDown]

@@3madeamps You still didn't get what I was hinting to in my reply lol.... I looked back after I read your comment to see..These videos were made 4 years ago. So I was still smoking then. Every video you see me release has been uploaded up to 5 years ago and have been hanging out on my KZbin unlisted list.

Too slow get on with it.
