Sorry about this. I must have hit a wrong key and sent the message before

I need some clear thinking here. I have a rice box rated for 100 watts
SSB or 25 Watts AM. I believe the 100 watts is PEP while the 25 watts is
RMS (continuous carrier). I want to add a linear amplifier to bring the
25 watts
You will get lots of answers. the short and correct answer is 100 watts
carrier with peaks to 400 watts. I run a similar one at 150 watts carrier
for short periods. The reason the ricebox drops to 25 watts is because it is
100 pep am under those conditions about 17 watts is what I use to drive my
SSB amps make poor AM amps, partly because they are built for the very small
average
power output/duty cycle.
I would say AL-811 is good for about 100 watts carrier output tube wise,
but the power supply may not be up for it.
Many amps of that type use voltage doubler or tripler circuits,

Your statement sounds pretty close to me. For instance, I set my TS-430S
carrier level for about 1/3 of full carrier (Ip)capability, then adjust
the mic gain control until it sounds OK on my monitor or to a live contact.
Do not use a compressor at all. IMHO. Good luck. 73 K0NG .
Quoting
I want to thank everyone who responded to my question. The consensus of
opinion is that the AL-811 runs 100 watts of carrier on AM with 400 watts
PEP. This with 3X811 while my DX-100 does the same thing with 2X6146.
Doesn't sound right, does it? I have a junker HW-100 with a good PA
section. How

Shows you what high level modulation can do, with finals running in Class C
vs. the amp running in linear mode.
