Yep... right on the money Joe... And one other thing to mention. If you find one of the monster pa units out there... don't even try to waste your time with it unless you get the matching monster power supply (a "real cluster %$**) and the proper service manual (in most cases).
If you don't have the power supply... you'll need to spend a bit of time with us over at the yahoo rfamplifiers group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rfamplifiers/ unless you're very motivated. cheers, skipp > Joe Montierth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Even if a solid state TX at 100 watts only had the > spurious and harmonics down 20dB, that would only be 1 > watt of additional heat generated. > > Most transmitters have such things reduced by at least > 60dB, which would make the additional heat generated > at something less than a milliwatt, hardly worth > mentioning.
