The transformer should be in series and i have to think about the lower series C. Another thing is that the MF transmitter should act as a shortcut for ULF so the transformer does not act as a (saturated) L. So the picture is updated. 73, Stefan Am 26.08.2016 14:36, schrieb Rik Strobbe: > Hi Stefan, > > if you can keep both transmitters from feeding power into each other it should work. > But one thing to keep in mind is that the 2nF parallel capacitor needed on ULF will reduce the overall (antenna + parallel C) resistance at 475kHz significantly. > It is not clear to me what configuration you intend to use, but maybe you should try to avoid that the 2nF cap is drawing a lot of 475kHz current. > > 73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T > > ________________________________________ > Van: owner-rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org namens DK7FC > Verzonden: vrijdag 26 augustus 2016 13:46 > Aan: rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org > Onderwerp: LF: A simple ULF/MF diplexer? > > Hi all, > > I would like to run some transmissions on MF WSPR but i also like to run > a longer transmission on 2.97 kHz.
