    Hello, I have an amplifier zetagi b47 which does not amplify the signal even makes it worse. I changed the power amplifier nothing changed, everything works. The relay activates the amplifier when pressing the pager and the power lack. I connected the median Watt with the amplifier switched on, the power is about 0.5w, and when I turn it off The meter switch shows the power of about 4w or radio power. Which may be the reason for looking for a fault.

    Do you have a HF probe?

    No, I only have a meter.

    Which transistors you inserted and on which the amplifier originally worked, because there were several versions.

    It is possible that the original was 2SC1969 and the friend put in a MOSFET.

    was put in c1969 although I do not know if it was the original because it does not have it since the news but earlier it worked and I bought the same after the exchange is still not working.

    You bought a so-called "red peach" or counterfeit, you have to organize a certain transistor from old stocks. Measure this old transistor in omomuja.

    I measured the old one and it turns out that it is good

    Without probe in advance You do not have to do anything. You need to check if the control signal comes on the base. Is the relay is good, i.e. when you press the microphone, it should close the contacts, that is, wox before. it works.

    the relay works, because it knocks and the plaque drops on the back

    Added after 7 [minutes]:

    after pressing the pear and turning the relay on, the transistor gets warm.

    The reception is correct after connecting the amplifier between the radio and the antenna.

    The receipt is correct.

    The diagram on this theme fits?

    It's a multi-emitter transistor. On the meter will show that it is ok. But when it comes to amplifying the signal in advance. it will not do it. If you bought a new 2SC1969 in the shop, it's probably a coloring book and you will not get any reinforcement on it. Such a transistor is only suitable for the basket. Measure at least the quiescent current of course without control from the radio. You can insert IRF520 there, but you need to slightly change the divider setting the quiescent current.

    This transistor, however, looks like the so-called Coloring. The amplifier will not work on it. I suggest inserting IRF520 and measure the quiescent current in the drain circuit. It will be above 100mA so you have to adjust the pre-gate control circuit a bit. Please see how it looks in such an amplifier on two IRFs. It's about two resistors R3, R4. They ensure proper control of the goal. As R3, you can insert a perek to set the quiescent current.

    Thank you for your help when I buy a new transistor I will appeal.

    Hello, I bought the transistor original and not painted and the amplifier works. Thanks for help. Maybe someone will tell you how to entrust this quiescent current and exactly at which points to take measurements.

    Zetagi B47 Amplifier Issue: Signal Weakening Despite Power Amplifier Replacement & Relay Activation

    It's a slightly different model of the amplifier, but the principle of measuring the quiescent current is the same. You have to disconnect in your case the collector supply of the final transistor and connect the Ammeter exactly as in the picture. You can even directly disconnect the collector from the rest of the system and connect the meter there. Only do the measurement without turning on the radio, and preferably do not connect it to the radio. The amplifier must be without control.

    A bit not so kriss.
    Bias here is determined by the divisor r3 / r4
    Poor solution, better to do on zenerce or LM317.
    In addition, the colleague has 1969 and the taste probably works in class C.

    I guess it works linearly because its model is probably from SSB. If not then class C.

    The second thing is:

    So I showed. Another thing is the fact that Bias in the presented diagram is implemented on the divider, and not more professionally on LM or zenerka. Let the author write if his amplifier has an SSB switch then everything will become clear. Best wishes and happy new year wish you.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a Zetagi B47 amplifier that is experiencing signal amplification issues despite a power amplifier replacement. The user reports that the relay activates correctly, but the output power remains low at approximately 0.5W, with a higher reading when the amplifier is off. Participants suggest checking the type of transistors used, as counterfeit components may be the cause of the problem. Recommendations include measuring the quiescent current and ensuring the correct control signal is reaching the base of the transistors. The user eventually resolves the issue by acquiring an original transistor, leading to successful amplifier operation. Further advice on measuring quiescent current and biasing methods is also provided.
