    help on useing test equipment right

    OK i have a frequency counter. now I'm using this for RF. what probe setup do i need for this. or can i just use a scope probe set on 10x. measuring Chrystal's and such, mostly I'm well below 30 MHz. some around 10hrz. i know how to use a scope but this thing is new to me buy the way its a...

    power supply help unregulated

    OK i got it open and i see what your talking about its no good for anything that i want to do with it. so drop back and punt i will have to figure out something else sucks that i cant use it but if everything went good i wouldn't have anything to ***** about and my wife would be happy. well...

    power supply help unregulated

    tcmtech it is a model Lincoln ac-225-s it is a 225 amp welder 25v wile welding and 79v open voltage. i am going to have to regulate this down to 13.8 if i can but i would like to make it variable to 18 volts for testing some of the larger amps i build. i just got it about an hour ago it was...

    power supply help unregulated

    OK i did some checking the welder is rated 230 ac at 50amps in 250 amps at 25 volts out at 20% duty cycle. so i should have no problem getting the 100 amps from this. i will have to build it for 250 amps but I'm not going to need more than 100 amps so i should be fine. now how do i regulate down...

    power supply help unregulated

    boy oh boy this is small compared to the voltages that i work with. i work on wind turbines that can produce 1500 volts dc at 1000 amps. ive worked on 2.5 megawatt and 6.8 megawatt turbines. i just dont know how to make a small supply the theory is the same but i dont know about the small...

    power supply help unregulated

    the transformer is out of a welder 230v 60 Hz ac to 24 to 28 volt "dont know yet i still haven't plugged it in to find out yet". an i am going to use a full wave out of skotty diodes. i am trying to run a hf amp 2sc2789 transistors about 12 to 16 of them. so i am trying to get close to no hum as...

    power supply help unregulated

    OK here is the question i want to build a power supply 12-20 V 250 amp. i am trying to figure the capacitance needed i am coming up with 1.2 F am i close? or is my math off and how do i come up with what capacitance needed and can i use something else other than 25 v cap's. can i use 30 or 50...

    looking for oscilloscope what to get

    OK this is a new one " A spectrum analyzer" what does this do and why would i need one for RF? not to sound stupid but ive never heard of this.

    looking for oscilloscope what to get

    OK well i did some checking on a few service manuals that i have for the MHz required for testing. on is a 30 and the other is a 50 MHz. I'm using it for the modulation testing i have a analyzer that wasn't cheap that one was a hit and a half at 4500. i use the analyzer allot. but i would like...

    looking for oscilloscope what to get

    OK her it goes. i am looking for a oscop to work on UF vhf and UHF radios. i would like to get a scope that will work with what I'm doing. I'm getting more advanced in the shop. i do most of my tuning with a dimm meter and other gadgets for radio. I'm looking for something that i can use in the...
