Not sure where the article is exactly pertinent to this. If the exciter B+ is reduced, so is the max available exciter PEP. If the B+ stays the same and the screen V is reduced the max available exciter PEP is (roughly) the same, but the carrier power out (no mod) goes down.
If your concern is running as much carrier power as possible while staying within the (stupid) 1500W PEP limit then reduce your positive modulation as much as you can tolerate while keeping the negative modulation as consistently high as possible. Won't sound very good, but there it is. g Geoff wrote: > > ...I don't think that's what happens. > > http://w5omr.shacknet.nu/~wa5bxo/asyam/Amplitude%20Modulation.htm > > That's a great read. Everyone -should- read that.
