8000dle idle (quiescent) current keyed no drive
Posted: Fri Jul 25, 2025 4:19 am
I'm hoping someone can provide a lead on the 8000dle idle (quiescent) current when keyed but with no drive. I ask as I need to adjust the bias of a Collins 30S-1 amplifier that I'm using after the 8000dle. When a Collins KWM-2 is used as the exciter, the KWM-2 idle current is 40-50 mA and the 30S-1 bias is then adjusted to 200 mA. Thanks.
