I love the way you started drawing the circuit...in the nicest way possible ...by drawing the heart of the machine...the valve. It does not feel the same when drawing an integrated circuit or FET.
These modules with the SI5351 and others are small and work really great! I like the combination with the RS237 too, it's a beautiful tube. Great work!
Thanks for making this video. I like the glow given by valves and it's a good idea to have a clear panel to see the tube light up. It looks good as well as works well too!
I agree with the idea that fine and historically interesting components should be openly visible in new setups like this. As I watched this, I was truly inspired by the elegance of this work. Outstanding!
One can hardly make a more simple transmitter. Excellent ! I think I spotted a Siemens "Rainbow receiver" in your collection..... Greetings from Denmark.
Fantastic video as usual Helge. I just love the clip from 11:20! We have a Nixie tube-based counter, an analog oscilloscope, and they're both showing morse code. Beauty!
This is very cool. I did wonder about the power dissipation on the tube then you mentioned needing to put in a fan. I'm jealous of all your vintage tubes. I suspect they will outlive a lot of modern contemporary electronics. Your Kenwood oscilloscope is super cool too!
Yes heat became an issue. I work like this. Builds and tests. Then I correct to solve the problem. Not easy to calculate everything in advance. Thanks for your nice comments.
hi Helge ! this video is very inspiring / thank you for sharing . . . you mention just very briefly that you experimented in order to get the proper coil windings for the output impedance. I would like to know more details about that ! Kindly regards / Richard / KC8YTV
Thank you for watching my video. I made different coils with different windings and diameters. Then I measured how much power I got out of them. Then I chose the best one. If I made three coils with 6, 8 and 10 turns and the one with 10 is the best, then I will also test with 12. Simple, requires no calculations, only measurement.
@@LA6NCA fine biz ! Also, when you were testing the variable capacitor for output coupling, did you have the full amplification or just output from oscillator ? Same question for when you were testing output power for the different load coils . . . ?
Fantastic! You make it look so easy. I like your style of writing down a basic schematic first, then figuring out the details later through experimentation. I really liked the hand-wound coil trick to adjust output impedance. Very clever! I never saw a vacuum choke before. Is there a reason for the vacuum? Also, thank you for the clear English translation. I will be looking at more of your videos! 73 KD2ORG.
"I like your style of writing down a basic schematic first, then figuring out the details later through experimentation." Yes, that's always the way I work. I rarely calculate the details, I do experiments to find the best way to design a product. "I really liked the hand-wound coil trick to adjust output impedance. " This worked very well. One can easily adjust the values of the coils. "I never saw a vacuum choke before." Vacuum choke is very rare. But it can withstand very high AC voltages. ie high power. Almost all my viewers can understand English. Thank you for watching my channel.

beautiful! I like the mix of old and new tech. In the schematic is an input of 30V peak to peak. Is it from the si5351 module? What module is it? And do you need no output low pass filter? I ask because the output of a si5351 is a square wave.
The output of SI5351 goes into a transistor with a drossel connected to 12V. I get a gain of the square pulses. Then the signal goes into an L-C resonant circuit and I get the sine wave at even higher voltage.
Snyggt bygge Helge. Gillar din lösning med antennspolen. Har faktiskt gjort en triodsändare jag med, helt 3d printad. Har dock inte filmat den än, men det kommer //Tommy, SA2CLC
Tack för din kommentar. Jag har tittat på din UA-cam-kanal. Har prenumererat nu. Mycket intressant där. 3D-tryckt triosändare kommer att vara intressant att titta på.
I wanted to make a QRP transmitter. Power output is 5 Watts. It's because I have no neutralization. I will build this in later. I can then increase power out. But with 5 Watt CW you get far.
This tube is one of the world's best tubes for high end audio. Therefore the price. I got this tube from him I communicated with in the video. Many other tubes can be used for this design.
@@LA6NCA thanks am in africa kenya where everything is hard to get for now am using solid-state transistors and mosfet like irf510 and irfp450 i like what you do sir great hoppy

Good to see real home built equipment. So many just buy commercial stuff where the satisfaction is short lived.

Wow...I've never seen a vacuum choke before...
Excellent work, nice to see and hear this RS237 unique project, of course together with the ufb E52 receiver ! 73 de Jos,ON6WJ

hi are there any other triodes i can use?
the ones he shows are beautifull but i dont have 3000£
I love it good
Keep uploading videos like this

im glad this has subtitles and its a great video nice set up

Excelent transmitter
very nice and compact construction
Awesome build !! And it keeps the shack/room, warm during winter too ! By the way, how many watts did you achieve on the output?
Thanks for the comment.
I only got 5 watts.
I did not have neutralization, so that's how it turned out.
But it works very well.
Nice work on the transmitter!
beautiful beautiful work!!

Try searching on ebay for this:
DC 12V-24V Step up to 200V-450V DC-DC
