because Of the voltage drop across the
grid leaks. Since the leak is shunted
around the grid condenser. this con-
denser cannot hold a charge and the
tubes oscillate about a favorable part
of their characteristic curve. Now, II
we open the grid leak circuit with the
key or chopper, the grid condenser i'm
mediately accumulates negative
charge which shuts of the plate cur
rent, and the antenna output therefore
drops to zero.
The Chopper.

can be received without q heterodyne
receiver. Using a properly designed
chopper the tubes will draw approx
mately one-half their CIV. value Of
plate current, unless readjustments
are made. Therefore while the aver
age value Of plate current may be the
same. 1t is possible to so adjust the
transmitter that the peak value is
twice Its normal amount. This In turn
results In q considerable increase in
the peak antepna current which, while
not indicated on the antenna anime
ter, IL very effective In securing maxi
mum range. Consequently we have a
combination that permits us to In
crease the output Of our transmitter
without overlcading the tubes, as the
practical limitation in tube set is the
energy dissipated as heat in the plates.
When the plates reach too high tenn
perature, gas is generally given of,
causing the familiar blue glow which
may destroy the tube.
In conclusion, 1t might be stated
that vacuum tube set built as de-
scrlbed will give good results and in
range obtained will outperform many
spark transmitters requiring two or
three times the radio input.
