: [AFMUG] So anti-climatic Load impedance changes constantly while booting. It levels out after booted up. The real data I posted yesterday I did exactly that. I added 8 ohms and it quit working down in the 15 volt range. It was below 11 volts on the SM. So 6 watts/11 volts = .545 ohms

So, here's my question (which I would play with on the bench if I was at home) Take a radio (such as a 100 series cambium) that is known to run down to below 12V Put 29Vdc into the circuit. Add series resistance until the sqrt(4RP) term reaches zero. This should be about 14.5vdc. Now
