Re: [TCML] Tuning vs Interference
One thing, if you added more power and the sparks didn't increase that much,
the power is going elswhere. One question, what is your spark gpa setup?
That would be my first suspect for poor performance with added power. Try a
sucker gap like Gary's, cheap and works great at those power levels.

Subject: [TCML] Tuning vs Interference
Does interference go up or down when the coil is properly in tune? I
bought
a new transformer today (and picked up a freebie). Anyways, the freebie
was
a 15/30 so I'm running that in parallel with my other 15/30. I have a cap
size that's pretty close to resonant cap size for my transformer. The
caps
are bottle caps so they're pretty terrible. I hope my losses are all in
the
caps, because I'm only getting 12" streamers with a breakout point.
Getting
back to the subject line here ... every time I run the coil the cable box
loses it's authorization. This used to happen sometimes, but not always.
Now it happens every time. Does this mean my coil is still out of tune,
or
will it be causing massive amounts of interference even when it's in tune?
P.S. It would seem that I've fried my cable box :( It just keeps
flashing
