I had access to a Motorola MSR2000 some time back. The only way /\/\ would ship it was at 75 watts output ... the station license said 20 watts.
The PA deck consisted of one PA transistor & associated microstrip circuitry driving three more in paralle. Bypassing the three and using just the driver stage equaled 16? watts ... well within the license limitations. Neil - WA6KLA Q wrote: > > Its been a while,but from what I remember-no!
