Well Bob, I don't want you to not operate the amp based solely on my ideas and the math. A whole lot of folks run them all the time with good results. Besides some of the science in all this is not exact anyway. I would just limit TX times much more so than old buzzard when running a linear amp... Go for it Bob, it's just something to consider... 73 & good luck, Brian / wa5am -- "Money is only temporary, radios are forever" - Jim Little aka "the old dawg"/K5BAI ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
