Title: B&W 851 Post by: W4AMV on November 13, 2015, 02:17:50 PM Good day,
Picked up an 851 and was curious from the prior posts, is the 851 same L values as the 850A? L range, 13.6 uH down to 0.8 uH. Z transform range from 2.5 k to 5 k down to 50 ohms? Tnx, Alan Title: Re: B&W 851 Post by: Pete, WA2CWA on November 13, 2015, 03:00:59 PM A search of our forum brought up this info on the 850, 851, and 852.

However, the 851 was not mentioned except for power rating, 250-500W. I am looking for the L total and its taps. One post in another forum mentioned a total L of 15.5 uH. While the 850A appears to be 13.6 uH. So a bit different.

I have a scanned copy of a Barker & Williamson catalog from 1987. It lists the specifications for the 850, 850A, 851, and 852. For the 851 it gives the following: Power: AM 250 W, CW/SSB 500W DC Plate Voltage: AM 1250 @ 200 mA, CW/SSB 2000 @ 250 mA Plate Load Impedance: 2500 - 5000 ohms Output Impedance 50-75 ohms Inductance Taps 14, 6.3, 1.5, 0.8, 0.52 microhenries Capacitance to Resonant Each Band 150, 80, 70, 55, and 50 pF I hope that helps.

Thanks, Title: Re: B&W 851 Post by: W9ZSL on November 14, 2015, 02:59:45 PM The 1962 Orr Handbook has a 4-400A amp which uses the B&W 850. It lists 13.5uh for 80, 6.5uh for 40, 1.75uh for 20, 1.0uh for 15 and 0.8uh for 10.
