Vacuum Tubes 807 and 1625 are commonly used by hams as power amplifiers. Both tubes are audio power amplifier beam tetrodes in the output stage of high power amplifiers but they are suitable for high frequencies also. Both tubes are equal in their characteristics except for base connection and filament voltage.
807 valve requires about 6.3 volts for filament at 0.9 amperes while 1625 requires 12 volts at 0.4 amperes. 807 requires 5 pin socket and 1625 needs 7 pin socket. Other details are exactly same for both the vacuum tubes.

Typical voltages are given below
Anode - 600 to 700 volts
Screen - 250 volts
Anode Current - 100 ma
Screen Current - 6 ma
Grid Voltage - 45 for class C
- 35 for use as linear amplifier
For CW operation grid block keying is used. In the key up position a negative voltage about 100 volts is applied to grid of PA, the anode current is cut off. When you apply -45 volts to grid the anode conducts and signals goes out. The key can also be connected to the cathode but since there is a high voltage on cathode risk of getting shock is present and also the heavy current may damage the key contacts.
For phone operation the grid voltage is made -35 volts so that it can be used to drive SSB signals also. For getting a clean signal in the output the screen grid should be given a stabilised voltage of 250 volts. The screen grid voltage can be stabilised by either using voltage regulator tubes or zener diodes.
The plate current of the tube depends on the screen grid voltage. When the voltage is 250 volts the anode current is 100 ma. When the screen voltage is reduced to 125 volts the anode current is also reduced to 50 ma. In screen modulation, the screen voltage is set to 125 volts and anode current to 50 ma. For modulation transformer we use an audio transformer having 4 ohms primary and 5000 ohms secondary. Such a transformer is used in old valve receivers using EL84...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
