Always helps to include text ... :-) My Ranger won't quite make 375w carrier. Do I have a problem? ;-)
I think the Elecraft amp will make 150w carrier. Hardly a big difference. But enough for a good time anyway. Not all Desks or KW-1s or similar transmitters are throttled back. Unless it's to drive a 4CX15000 or something :-$ Sent from my iPhone On Apr 14, 2011, at 10:45 AM, Grant Youngman <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Sent from my iPhone > > On Apr 14, 2011, at 10:41 AM, Guy Olinger K2AV <[email protected]> wrote: > >> That will be the same ratio as always, set by physics instead of the >> manufacturer: carrier set for one quarter of the PEP rating.
