Hi, I'm building a PSU and inteface for an old ARC5 transmitter its the
one that covers 40mtrs, I only want to use it on CW I've fired it up
and tested it, and up to 10 watts its not to bad, I know it will be a
little chirpy owing to it being just an MO into a PA, but over 10 watts
the chirp becomes a real squawk hi! has anyone ever heard an ARC5 at
full gallop ie 30watts? are they really squawky at full power

Yes.


or is it
back to the drawing board

Best to run the oscillator continously (while transmitting) and just
key the finals. And then figure on some key click filtering.
