1.0 INTRODUCTION:

In putting together this manual, I used what limited information I could compile. The new updated schematic, drawings and PCB layout were drawn by B. Bolin and were verified against a LA-600.

The Siltronix Model LA-600 is designed for operation in the 26 to 30 megacycle range. Due to the high efficiency of the “Single Band” design, it is an excellent amplifier for the Ten Meter Amateur Radio

Operator, or for other services outside the United States.

Figure 1-1 Front Panel

The LA-600 features a High/Low RF transmit output selection and a pre-amplifier which provides approximately 6 db gain on received signals. The LA-600 is designed with the best of components available to provide years of trouble free service. It is important, however, the Operating Instructions should be followed. The RF drive requirements to the amplifier should not be exceeded. Once the unit has been installed and tuned for proper operation, retuning of the amplifier should not be required.

Even though the rugged 8950’s should provide years of trouble free operation, the most severe conditions for the tubes exist during the tune-up procedure where the possibility of Off-Resonance condition allows relatively large amounts of current to be drawn through the tubes. Unnecessary tuneups will reduce the life of the 8950’s. Once the unit is properly tuned for operation, major readjustments should rarely be necessary. Occasional minor touch-up of the “PLATE” tuning to verify peak performance is recommended. Both “PLATE” and “LOAD” controls may require small adjustment when changing antennas or switching to and from a dummy load.

2.0 INSTALLATION:

CAUTION: Lethal voltages are present in this amplifier! DO NOT REMOVE the bottom cover or cabinet while the AC power cord is connected to the wall outlet.

Before removing the covers for any reason, allow at least one minute for the filter capacitors to discharge after turning amplifier off and disconnecting the AC line cord. Then short the driver and final plate circuit to ground with an insulated screwdriver before touching any of the components.

1. Select a location for your amplifier. RF amplifiers need ventilation, so choose a location that will

not restrict the air flow around the amp. While turned on, the unit will generate a lot of heat so do

not lay anything on top of the amplifier.

2. Do not exceed the nominal input RF drive requirements listed under “Specifications” by more than

15 percent. Check RF output specifications of the exciter (or, measure the power output with a

wattmeter).

3. Connect a short length of coaxial cable (RG-58 or RG-8) from the exciter (transceiver or

transmitter) to the “INPUT” jack on the rear of the LA-600. A PL-259 connector is required to

connect the coax cable to the amplifier. Coax cable should be as short as possible.

4. Connect antenna or suitable high power dummy load to the “OUTPUT” connector on the rear of

the LA-600 using RG8/U coax or similar type coax with a PL-259 connector.

5. The unit should be grounded for R.F. by attaching a ground strap of coaxial shield or 10-12 gauge

wire to the ground post on the amplifier. This should be connected by a short run to a ground rod

or cold water pipe. The idea is to have a short direct earth ground to keep the chassis at radio

frequency ground. In many cases normal operation can be had without such a ground, but a

good ground can help prevent television interference, and make tuning straightforward.

6. The A.C. line cord should be plugged into a three-wire outlet. The electrical circuit should be

capable of handling a 15 ampere load.

3.0 CONTROLS:

3.1 Front Panel

Figure 2-1 Front Controls

1. POWER: Switches AC power “On” and “Off”

2. MODE: STDBY Position: Exciter operated directly into the antenna on transmit.

OP Position: Transmitting amplifier will be switched in when the exciter is

in AM and keyed or when the exciter is keyed in SSB with

modulation applied.

3. POWER: LOW Position: Provides 300 Watts AM RF Output for the nominal 3 watts input.

HIGH Position: Provides 500 Watts AM RF Output for the nominal 3 watts input.

4. DELAY: SSB Position: Allows the relay to remain in “Transmit” mode during short

pauses while transmitting.

AM Position: Continuously keeps the LA-600 in the transmit mode so long

as the exciter is in transmit.

5. PRE-AMP: OFF Position: Exciter receives signal directly from antenna.

ON Position: Exciter receives signal from PRE-AMP which provides

approximately 6 db gain. The PRE-AMP switch operates

independently of the mode switch. The PRE-AMP is

disabled during transmit.

6. RELATIVE POWER METER: Reads relative output RF power.

7. PILOT LIGHT: Red lamp indicator shows when amplifier is powered on.

8 INPUT: Connects RF Drive from exciter to input of amplifier.

4.0 OPERATION:

1. Setting the “MODE” switch to the “STDBY” position (or the main “POWER” switch to “Off”) permits

the exciter (transceiver) to operate directly into the antenna. This also allows any adjustment to be

made to the exciter before operating the LA-600. Use this setting for checking drive power.

2. Initial tune-up should be accomplished with the exciter (transceiver) set at the middle range of the

frequencies to be operated. This allows operation over the entire range without re-tuning the

amplifier.

3. The tune-up procedure should initially be accomplished by applying the exciter driving power for

short periods of time, not longer than 30 seconds. Release the push-to-talk button on the

microphone for about 30 seconds between each adjustment. During the final fine adjustments of

the tuning controls the drive may be held on for longer periods, provided only minor adjustments

are made. This method of tune-up will prevent the tubes from overheating during adjustments.

Once the tune-up procedure has been completed, the cooling fan, plus the high quality

components, will provide normal operation indefinitely with only an occasional minor tune-up.

6


4.1 INITIAL TUNE-UP:

Read all of these tune-up instructions before turning the power on or attempting tune-up. It is very important that the amplifier be properly tuned if it is to provide long life and good performance. Never operate the amplifier if it is not properly tuned.

1. Set “DELAY” switch to the “AM” position.

2. Set “POWER” switch to the “LOW” position.

3. Set “PLATE” control to “5”.

4. Set “LOAD” control to “5”.

5. Place AC “POWER” switch in the “ON” position. The red pilot light should be on. Always allow at

least one minute warm-up before proceeding with tune-up or operation.

6. Key exciter (transceiver) in transmit mode (AM). If single sideband is the only mode available,

tune-up of the LA-600 can be accomplished by a sustained whistle into the microphone while

holding the push-to-talk button down. In the AM mode, it is only necessary to press the

push-to-talk button on the microphone (do not talk into the microphone in this mode). Either

method will provide the RF drive required for tuning the LA-600.

7. Quickly adjust “PLATE” control for maximum meter reading. There should be a definite maximum

meter reading and as the “PLATE” control is moved in either direction the reading should decrease.

8. Quickly adjust the “LOAD” control for maximum meter reading.

9. Steps #7 and #8 should be repeated several times until no greater reading can be obtained. Do

this as rapidly as possible.

10. Now switch RF “POWER” switch to “HIGH” and repeat Steps #7 and #8 several times until a

maximum reading is again obtained.

11. The “POWER” switch can now be used to select “LOW” or “HIGH” power output.

4.2 OPERATION AFTER TUNE-UP:

AM Operation: “DELAY” switch should be in the AM position. When the exciter (transceiver) is keyed

into the transmit mode, the LA-600 will automatically go into transmit. During AM

modulation a slight downward deflection may be noted on the meter. This is a normal

state and will not affect the audio quality of the transmitted signal.

SSB Operation: “DELAY” switch should be in the SSB position. If there is a long pause between

words during a transmission, the antenna switching relay in the LA-600 will return to

the receive position. Talking into the microphone will automatically return the

antenna switching relay to the transmit position. This relay action is normal.

5.0 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:

The LA-600 is a classic TV Sweep Tube Amplifier using five 8950 tubes. One of the tubes is a grid driven driver stage and the other four are the PA tubes in grounded grid final operation. It has a low and high power output setting and features a pre-amplifier which provides approximately 6 db gain on received signals.

Figure 5-1 Chassis Layout

In the figure above, you can see the Driver Section in the lower right corner. The variable capacitor

C30 to the right of the Driver tube is for tuning the Driver output and is accessed thru a small hole in the side of the top cover. The four PA Tubes are just above the driver section. You can see the Plate

Cap connections with their Plate Parasitic Suppressors. Above them you will find the Plate Load and

Plate Tune capacitors used for tuning the finals for proper operation. In the bottom center, K1 is the main relay for switching the PA in and out of line. K2 is mounted on the PCB and it functions to switch the Preamp in and out of line as the PA is keyed. To the left is the main Power Transformer. Above it are the four capacitors that make up the high voltage power supply filter. The Fan in the center of the chassis runs continuously as long as the Amplifier is turned on providing air circulation for the tubes.

8


6.0 PCB LAYOUT:

The PCB is mounted on the back wall of the amplifier. It contains the Receive Preamplifier Q1,

Transmit detector Q2, Power Amp relay driver Q3, Preamp relay driver Q4, and Relay K2 for switching the preamp in and out of the circuit. There are 12 points shown in the drawing by a number inside a circle. These points are connections from the PCB to various points in the LA-600 as indicated by the labeling.

7.0 ALIGNMENT:

ALIGNMENT – LA-550, LA-600, LA-650

This alignment procedure applies to the LA-550, LA-600, and LA-650 amplifiers.

1. Driver Neutralization

A. Connect RF Voltmeter to the cathodes of the four PA tubes. If a RF Voltmeter is not

available, an Oscilloscope with a bandwidth over 30 Mhz can be used with a 10X Probe.

B. With linear amplifier off, key your transmitter, depress relay K-1 with an insulated tool, and

adjust the neutralization trimmer (it is under the driver tube) for a dip or minimum

reading on the RF Voltmeter or Oscilloscope. The amplifier is now neutralized.

2. Bias (Driver)

A. Connect a DC Voltmeter to Pin 2 of the driver tube (the cathode).

B. Turn linear amplifier on, set to high power position.

C. Adjust bias pot (one closest to power supply) for a .5 VDC reading on Pin 2.

3. Bias (Power Amp)

A. Connect DC Voltmeter across the one ohm, 10 watt resistor in the cathode of the power amp.

B. Turn linear amplifier on, set to high power position.

C. Depress relay using insulated tool. Adjust power amplifier bias pot for a .05 reading on your

voltmeter.

4. Tune Up:

A. Adjust Driver Grid Tuning and Plate tune output capacitor for maximum power out.

B. Adjust power amplifier front panel Plate and Load for maximum power out.

9.0 POWER TRANSFORMER:

USING TRANSFORMER 271-025 (10 LEADS) WITH LA-550, LA-600, and LA-650

The original power transformer used in the LA-550, 600 and 650 series linear amplifiers was the 9 or 8 lead version of the 271-025. If the linear uses 6LF6 tubes it has the 9 lead version, because of the requirement to provide 6 volts to the filament of the driver tube. If the linear uses 8950 tubes the 8 lead version may have been used as there is no requirement for a 6 volt center tap. The 8950 has a

12 volt filament.

Because the 10 lead version of 271-025 has no 6 volt filament tap it cannot be used to replace the transformer in a linear with 6LF6 unless a simple modification is performed. This consist of replacing the driver tube with an 8950 and re-wiring the filament pin (pin #1) to the 12 VAC filament source. The other socket pin connections remain the same. The driver stage must be re-aligned and reneutralized because the internal capacitances of the two different tube types are not the same.

Also when using the 10 lead transformer, the two primary windings must be wired in parallel. For the 110V AC source the 2 windings are (1) orange and brown and (2) yellow and green. To wire them in the proper phase the orange and yellow leads are both connected to the unswitched line cord lead at the term strip (this is the line cord lead that is not connected to the fuse holder). The green and brown leads are both connected to the adjacent terminal. This terminal has a wire leading to the power switch.

10.0 REPAIR TIP:

SWITCH REPAIR TIP

If you have a switch like this and it is being intermittent or not working at all, it probably just needs cleaning. This is a DPST switch and if you cannot find a suitable replacement, this is how to disassemble and clean the old one. When removing switch, make sure you remember to identify which wire connects to which terminal. Word of caution, the AC POWER and the PREAMP switch are used to secure the front panel to the chassis.

Figure 10-1

15


Disassembly: Carefully drill off the braded end of the two rivets holding the switch together using a small drill bit. Then push the rivets out of the switch while holding the switch front and back. Once the rivets are removed, the internal spring will be pushing the switch apart. Lift the top cover off while watching where all the pieces are located. The picture above shows a switch before repairing and one disassembled showing all the parts and the two bolts to put it back together with. Remove the three piece part (cap, spring, and guide) and lay to the side. Remove the brass roller that looks like a mini dumbbell and clean it to remove any oxidation. Next using a Q-tip and alcohol, clean the contacts inside the switch housing. It’s possible the bottom contacts have worn down some over time. If so, the raised track running down the middle of the housing may now be holding the brass roller up preventing it from making firm connection with the bottom contacts. Using a small knife point, carefully scrape both sides of the track a small amount by the contacts. You can also scrape down the top a very small amount. Do not remove much material, just scrape a little off. The track also acts as a wall between the contacts. This should allow the roller better contact if the track was holding it up.

Reassembly: Put brass roller back into the housing and push it to the end with the side contacts. Put the three piece part back in with the grooved guide end riding on the middle of the brass roller. Place the two insulators back on the sides of the housing. Move toggle on top cover to the side labeled “ON”.

While holding the housing and insulators together, slide the top cover down over the housing. The bottom of the toggle lever fits into the top plastic cup of the three piece part as it goes together. If you have it backwards, the “ON” position will be “OFF”. Just turn the top around if needed to put it right.

Two small nails that will fit thru the holes will hold it together while finishing up. You can check the

“ON and “OFF” with an ohmmeter at this point easily. The two bolts and nuts needed to replace the rivets are size 2-56. The bolt is 2-56 x 3/4in. The bolts will fit the holes in the top cover, but will have to be threaded thru the housing. Remove one of the nails and insert a bolt. Screw it in all the way down and watch the housing bottom as you tighten it. You only want to tighten enough to barely compress the housing. Place a nut on the end and tighten only enough to barely compress the housing from that side. If tightened too much, you may distort the housing where the brass roller may bind and not move freely. Now put in the other bolt and nut. Tighten the same way. You only need them snug to hold the switch together properly. Verify the switch is working properly. You can use a drop of nail polish to secure the nuts if needed.
