I needed a Temporary Exciter for My 440 Repeater , So a Fellow Ham
in the Two way Business Had two Maxtracs one was 25 watts and one was
a 2 Watt unit that used in the Steel Mills for a link , He said since
I only needed 2 Watts the 2 Watt one would be better , well I thought
of Just using the 25 Watt unit and turning it down to 2 Watts it would
work better and run cooler , He said No it would not and gave Me the 25
Watt one .
Well I set it up for 2 Watts and to My surprise the Heat sink got Hot ,
So I took it back and got the 2 Watt unit and it ran cold at two watts .
So I learned My lesson more is not always better , Now if someone wants
to put the Reason in Layman terms that would be nice too
Happy Repeater Building
