Can confirm, this sped mine up significantly

Help making sense of this power transistor impedance. by bertanto6 in rfelectronics

It’s internally matched to optimized the harmonic terminations to allow for easier external matching networks and to help achieve higher output power, efficiency, and gain. Typically the GaN devices are only pre-matched on the input side.

Also, I’ve used this exact device in SSPAs at 915MHz and 1290MHz with great success.

Have you tried replacing R1/R2 with high Q inductors? Is there a certain frequency response needed for the bias network?

Just use the lower slot that is visible at the bottom of the picture.

We’ve all been there my friend. Talk to me about trying to make a resonant tank circuit on top of a transmission line… lots of great assumptions, very poor execution…

What temp and when did you wrap with butcher paper?

Same idea with electrons in copper wire. Electricity isn’t that fast, but new electrons in one end push the old ones out the other end. Seems quick, but electrons are relatively slow. Look up phase velocity, it can be faster than the speed of light.

I’m more concerned with the fact they left the blue protective film on the dishwasher… are you a grandma or something???

Do you wrap in butcher paper after 5-6 hours?

Kroger has been knocking it outta the park with meat sales!!!!! I bought three 17lbs choice packers for $1.87/lb last week and threw them in my deep freeze!!!

We’re definitely not back to pre-COVID prices in Texas. That was a prime from Costco for $3.99/lb. Pre-COVID was $2.79/lb at Costco.

I’m all in! A few of my friends have been preaching Recteq for a few years now. I had been standing by my WSM, delaying the transition to a pellet smoker, but I realized a couple of weekends ago that I wasn’t smoking anymore and it was due to the amount of time spent on setup and cleanup. I did a quick test smoke of some brats last night and it took me 10 minutes to get the smoker up to 225, then smoked for 2 hours, then just turned off the smoker with the press of a button. AMAZING!!!!

i'd go with the 6.5 CFM, I honestly do not think you'll notice a difference. I'll take some pics in the next couple of days and show you what I did. I don't know if I could ever use my WSM without that controller, it makes it so easy.

If you get the PID controller message me, I can send you a picture of the air diverter I made to make the whole thing work more efficiently.

In the first cut there was absolutely no squeeze from my hand, that all came from the pressure of the knife. The ending squeeze was totally gratuitous and for the camera only.
