Good news.

If using an antenna tuner, can it be rated for 300 Watts or must you use one with the rating for 500 Watts PEAK?

And what Freq rating/range must the Tuner have?

Would this antenna tuner work?

DIY is nice and it would be nice, too, to have a already made up device from you as an alternative for those not wanting to build one.

Hello,

The peak power coming from the amplifier is twice the average power if

you are using a 50% duty cycle modulation. Most of the commercial

antenna tuners are rated for SSB operation, which is roughly a 30% duty

cycle. A tuner that is rated for 1KW operation would be more than

adequate for use with the PA1. Both of the tuners you have provided

links to are capable of more power than that, so either one would handle

the power. However, because plasma tubes require a balanced line output,

only the MT-2000 A which has a built in balun would work as is. The

AT-3K tuner would require the addition of an external balun to provide

the balanced line output to the plasma tube. But in terms of power

handling capability, both of them would work fine.

> And what Freq rating/range must the Tuner have?

The SSQ-2F v3.10 in combination with the PA1 operates with either a 3.1

or 3.3 MHz carrier signal. The antenna tuner or matching network should

be capable of working down to at least 3.0 MHz. Both of the antenna

tuners you have linked to will operate down to 1.8 MHz, so they will

both work. Most amateur radio antenna tuners are designed to work down

to at least 1.8 MHz, so almost any of them should work well.

If you look on my website http://rife-beam-ray.com. There is a link to

an early version of my 3.1 MHz link coil coupler. This is a very simple

DIY tuning system which you can easily build. The hardest part to locate

would be a variable capacitor of between 30 to 40 pF which you would

need to tune the output coil to resonance. Depending on the time I have

available, I may be able to furnish pre-wound coil assemblies for this

tuner. I need to revise that page slightly, as there are a few

variations of the design, which will improve the efficiency depending on

what type of plasma tube you are using.

Hello Cary and everyone,

I haven't seen any documentation of rife using a 10.45 MHz carrier, but I have

seen a lot of documentation showing that he did use pulsed waveforms. Likewise,

I'm not aware of any frequencies affecting red blood cells. However, I could

easily have missed that information because the amount of information out there

is so large. I'd appreciate any links you have on these items so that I can

bring myself up to date on them.

As a broadcast engineer for many years, and amateur radio operator, I'm well

aware of the old Russian Woodpecker over the horizon radar system. It caused us

great amounts of interference. We used to listen to it for hours on end while we

were trying to make contacts. A few more aggressive amateur radio operators

modified their transmitters so they would echo back the Woodpecker signal to the

Russians. Apparently, this caused the Russians some problems, since after a few

minutes of retransmitting the Woodpecker signal back to them, they would shift

frequency. What fun!

Just in case you or anyone else on the list would like something to read on a

warm summer evening, I have included some links for you here.

Here are some good links to get started with -
