Would be great if anyone has a picture of the High Power Amp produced for the WS22 by Capt Astbury of Phantom GHQ Liaison Regt in 1944.

Default Linear

Post WW2 , there were some numbers of 19 set linear amps converted for use with the 122 Aust. set. I did have one of these, I gave it to VK3CYD who is currently working on it. Two of the 807's were removed , cannot remember the other details .

The four 807 version of the RF Amplifier was the MK.1 and extremely inefficient, so the design was re-worked to improve things. (Adding a cooling fan to the dynamotor and reducing the 807s to two, with corresponding circuit changes resulted in a rather more usable unit that could be operated continuously instead of a maximum of 15 minutes per hour.) I believe the WS22 amplifiers were conversions of the Amplifier, RF, No.2 Mk.3, with the addition of a meter for aerial current (using the existing metering boxes) and so on.

Chris.
