Hello Glen, > Consider though, that if you are at 10dB peak to average , that is 10W > RMS for a 100W amplifier. Utilization of the 100W PA is not good !
Yes, and I would like to see if we can reduce PAPR (say by 3dB as a firsts step) using some of the tricks you mentioned. However I am concerned that many of the SSB PAs in Ham radios aren't rated for high RMS powers. They are probably biassed differently for CW of FM operation. Bit worried about generating puddles of silicon, which I understand happened in the early days of HF DV.
