That would depend on the devices used on the oscillator. Your desired output voltage will determine the number of multiplier stages. The available output current drops in proportion to the voltage increase.

2024-10-01 16:36:33 +0000 UTCWe used an in-house designed SMPS on portable desks to provide the 48Vdc phantom supply. Ladder type voltage multipliers are frequently used in older style ionisers. Although many of the cheap Chinese ones use a potted transformer type design.

2024-10-01 16:31:06 +0000 UTCHi Paul, looks like a handy circuit. I'll be waiting for your B+ version as I am building a "Paraset" and would like to keep away from bulky transformers for HT (even though I have them for the project). It would then be a bit of old and new and a quirky one to show off :) Keep up the great work as I always look out for your videos, they're like required reading! Take care.

2024-07-03 15:34:27 +0000 UTCI would love to see the TDR
Rich Johnson
2024-06-24 03:37:16 +0000 UTCIt is a very useful circuit. I wonder if it is possible to add a suitable voltage divider and an error amplifier to control the oscillatory section. I'll definitely try.

2024-06-19 02:29:40 +0000 UTCI would like to see you build this .It helps to see your thought process that goes into a project like this..I like that you think of useful and helpful circuits and know how to bring them to life. A skill and also an art .And im learning while enjoying you create. I build battery packs and electric bikes .So i have a use for a voltage booster like this .Can a voltage input of as high as 60 volts be used?

2024-06-18 06:40:39 +0000 UTCVacuum tube and solid state transceiver alignments would also be awesome! Especially on how to align the transmitter half. From what I understand it requires more equipment than the receiver does and I've never seen a channelized or VFO type transmitter aligned before. I think it would be very educational to see how it is done. I hope to get into radio repair and alignments some day, and that would be very instructive and helpful. AI7YD

2024-06-17 23:25:46 +0000 UTCFor those of use who like to restore and use battery operated tube type receivers ZTO 500, and 600's. it would be very nice to have a 12 VDC to 90 VDC battery supply. They have 12 VDC to 30 VDC but I have not seen anything larger. They would only have to be a 30 milliamp supply

2024-06-17 23:22:12 +0000 UTCSorry, I've only been licensed for a couple of months and haven't acquired anything more than a ht so far. So I haven't tried RG8X or anything else yet. 73's and best of luck on solving that loss problem. =) AI7YD
Chip
2024-06-17 23:18:38 +0000 UTCTDR would be VERY useful.
Steve Kean
2024-06-17 15:06:31 +0000 UTCHow's that RG8X? Ran a 100' with a lightening arrester at 60' from a 9:1 balun 84' end fed. Lost 10dB. Gonna reposition the balan 60' closer and try again. KJ5GUN

2024-06-17 14:44:39 +0000 UTCWhen I bumped up to General class, I also upgraded my Rig Expert AA55 and got a 650 w/ blue tooth, both have the TDR built in. But I am very interested in the clean pwr. supply. I started a vacuum tube audio preamp a few years ago and have struggled with P/S noise. I have done a dozen or more iterations and changes, countless hours of experimenting. The only thing that has worked was my bench supply Which is your Vacuum tube regulated supply from several years ago with the OA2. Thank you for years of fascinating entertainment and learning! Again please do more vacuum tube circuits and projects.

2024-06-17 10:13:54 +0000 UTCI am very interested in the tdr now that I've gotten into ham radio. It will help allot with any possible coax issues in the future. AI7YD

2024-06-17 06:54:47 +0000 UTCYes I do know that and I did so its a matter of time and Paul should send me them! :) Thank You again! 73's
Bob Sheldon Sr - KC9ITB
2024-06-17 03:49:12 +0000 UTCYea I don't know why but I had to! Anyway, thank you very much for your help! 73's :)
Bob Sheldon Sr - KC9ITB
2024-06-17 03:38:29 +0000 UTCWell I'm glad you did by searching for the name. I never had to search for the Creators name on any of my devices since his name was already there in the first place and I assumed you would have had the same but hey....you've managed it in the end and that's all it matters. ;) And it should be a matter of time until you'll receive them to your e-mail. Some patience is required though, as MCL receives many requests of the same kind. Good luck with your project build.

2024-06-17 03:28:55 +0000 UTCI think I might of figured it out and I'm just waiting to hear from Paul if I did it correct. Under direct messages it has a box that says search or start new conversation and I typed Mr. Carlson's Lab in the box and hit enter and then he popped up and I was able to message him and hit the white arrow in the blue circle. I hope that was correct and I will see!
Bob Sheldon Sr - KC9ITB
2024-06-17 03:28:36 +0000 UTCNo, all have is "Snipping Tool" on my computer. Anyway when I click on the direct message below it it doesn't give me a creators name at all just says is search or start new conversation... this is getting frustrating! :(
Bob Sheldon Sr - KC9ITB
2024-06-17 03:09:33 +0000 UTCPM stands for "Personal Message" meaning you're going to be messaging directly to MCL (the Creator). Now, on how to do it: If you scroll up on this page (all the way to the top of the page on the right side corner), there is a box called "Message". Once you click on that, you'll be taken to the messaging page where you'll have to select the "Direct Messages" tab in order to PM the "Creator". You should see his name right there but in case you do not see it, then you'll need to manually search for it (first). So again, while under "Direct Messages" tab you should see a long rectangular box marked as: "Search or start new conversation" and you'll need to type in "Mr. Carlson's Lab" inside that field/box and hit enter and then his name should pop up, then click on the name to start your message and after that click on send button (a circle with an arrow inside). That's it. Make sure you include your "Patreon Registered" E-mail address along side the video number you would like the attachments for. I hope it helps. Good luck!

2024-06-17 02:58:51 +0000 UTCCan I send a screenshot on here of what I see ? I don't know if I can on here
Bob Sheldon Sr - KC9ITB
2024-06-17 02:54:51 +0000 UTCWhen I click on messages it doesn't give me any creators name
Bob Sheldon Sr - KC9ITB
2024-06-17 02:49:01 +0000 UTCAfter writing your message content instead of heating Enter key on your keyboard to the right of where you wrote the message, should be a blue colored circle with a white arrow inside . Click on it to send your message. The assumption is that you're on a PC but on a smart phone app is exactly the same thing just the circle is black instead.

2024-06-16 23:03:51 +0000 UTCI would like to learn more about the TDR head also!
Bob Sheldon Sr - KC9ITB
2024-06-16 22:52:22 +0000 UTCSame. I've taught myself KiCad and have been adapting SMD circuits to Through Hole construction. Miniaturization when it is not needed doesn't make sense. Love getting the little PCBs back from PCBWay.
RJ Dial
2024-06-16 21:17:36 +0000 UTCI'm loving these projects but I'm building them on perfboard or 'dead bug' with full-sized components. I've given surface mount a go but I don't have the dexterity or the eyesight any longer to do it properly. I have much more fun when I work with components I can see and handle!

2024-06-16 19:30:15 +0000 UTCTry changing the OS platform you're on. Try PC with Windows OS or Mac OS on your Mac (if you own one) , then try Android or IOS on your phone or even a tablet (if you have one) etc. Also try changing the web browser if you're using a PC. Try various ones and compare the outcome: Chrome, IE , Opera, Firefox etc. Make sure that on your browser you do not have any pop-up/add blockers or/and tracker blockers. On Patreon site you need to allow those . This could be the very reason you run into problems such as the one you have. And whatever browser or device you try things on, make sure you log in (to your Patreon) account first!

2024-06-16 18:54:25 +0000 UTCI agree about becoming very addictiving making the Printed circuit boards (PCB) that I have made boards up for many of my next projects. My only mistake was not labeling for what the project they were to become.🙃

2024-06-16 17:49:40 +0000 UTCHi My problem is if I press Message I get "Pop up window blocked"If I press Community Direct message I get "No creator found"I've been a Patron member for many years Thanks.

2024-06-16 16:40:43 +0000 UTCYour ultra-probe was responsible for accurately troubleshooting 3 different repairs this week. One while the owner of a 1942 Zenith radio was standing right behind me. He had tried to fix it for over a month. Found the bad amp after the detector in about half a minute. Found the open plate resistor shortly after that. LOVE that tool!
