Or , you can turn the amp on with a keying line and sweep the input with a analyzer to see where it is matched. CB amps are notorious for having very narrow input match networks, like Jim said, but the transformers are most likely broad band. Worth tinkering with if you want to see whats going on.. Mel, K6KBE

I'm guessing that that amp is a POS. You can filter harmonics, but you can't filter IMD. I'd throw it in the trash. The SWR issue is likely because the input circuit is tuned for 11M and doesn't pass whatever frequency you're trying to drive it with. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to farrerfo...@yahoo.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
