Well, Let's see if we can change the subject.. 8-) I am gathering ideas for a homebrew AM transmitter..
My friend, KR1S (Jim Kearman) is designing an AM transceiver, for me. We plan for this to be a solid-state unit that will deliver about 100 watts out. It will be single band (75 meters) and I have been considering using that to feed a homebrew linear. I have the makings of a 2 x 813 amp thanks to my and Jim's hamfesting efforts. So far, we have been reading and kicking around ideas. It seems that with the derating of the amp to handle the continuous carrier, etc.. may be more trouble than it is worth. So, I would be interested in opinions as to the relative merits of using a linear vs high-level modulation. And, pointers to existing circuits would be helpful.. Any ideas? 73, Larry KQBY Larry Keith 231 Shenandoah Trail Warner Robins, GA 31088-6289 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 478-329-0030 (home) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
