Do you mean 45 watts carrier? (180 watts /4). You might get away with this power level at the peak of the sunspot cycle. Otherwise, the transmitter would be suitable as a driver for a linear amplifier.
It sounds like a fun project. 73 de Bill, AB6MT [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Macklin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "AM Radio" <amradio@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2007 8:52 AM Subject: [AMRadio] AM vs SSB??? What is the difference between 180W PEP AM and 180W PEP SSB? I don't see any. To me the difference is in the demodulator. Ask this question because I have access to a BASKETCASE HW-101. This particular unit has already been used to salvage parts. I have been thinking about rebuilding what's left of it to an AM transmitter using possibly Controled Carrier similar to the DX-60. I could possible get this done by the time the solar cycle improves. Finding a DX-100 or Apache class transmitter seems out of my reach at this time. But my feeling is I could make the HW-101 conversion for less than $200 and I can do it over a period of time. Like at $50/mo! I am a RETIRED SENIOR on FIXED INCOME!
