His figures are correct for "rule of thumb". > Remember 33% efficiency for the carrier in linear AM operation. that's fine, Gary - but I was trying to figure out what he meant by "leagal AM limit", regardless of if he's using a plate-modulated rig, or a linear... 1500w PEP output, is 1500w PEP output. -- 10:51am up 1:24, 5 users, load average: 0.73, 1.42, 1.43
