Same old crap from usenet, its why I hardly use it for getting info. Too
many assholes like you. Self Proclaimed experts always call you a troll
when they cant supply you with usefull info.


Crap in, crap out. I still think you're a CBer trolling. I say it again,
why
not ask all of your AM buddies who you state are running linears??????

The BS meter is pegged.

Is that why the call you use "Peter k1zjh" is fake? From Qrz. com - The
callsign K1ZJH is not in our database.

You gonna use a callsign make sure it is valid - just like this response:

The problem is a ham linear will not deliver 1000 watts carrier
power on AM. It would have to be rated for 4kW to do so.
PEP on AM is at least 4X carrier.

.................................................. .....................

Everyone knows cept you that legal limit AM is 375 watts carrier...

I just dislike self proclaimed "experts" that know little and show it on
usenet under fake calls.

You made a real fool of yourself this time Peter k1zjh......

And YEAH, I got a ham license, all those nice private emails I received
with thoughtfull answers, got my call....

The FCC thinks it's valid. Whether or not it's in QRZ.com is irrelevant.

Unlike our USA President, I admit my mistakes. I was a fool responding
to Uncle Peters flame. He was nasty to me first. I simply was looking
for intelligent answers to maybe stupid questions but answers to things
I didnt know - Peter called me a troll - not true -I am just a average
stupid ham trying to learn.

I truly thank everyone who tried to help me - and there were many
private emails. Thanx to all cept Peter.

Only Peter tried to ridicule me and I apologize for taking his bait.

You've missed a lot if you don't recognize his name and callsign.

He had quite a number of articles in QST, including a synthesized 2meter
rig in the early seventies, when synthesizers were still a new thing
in the ham magazines. Lots of VHF equipment too, and in Ham Radio
magazine also.

Wrote for Communications Quarterly, and in recent years, has a column
about antique radio in Popular Communications magazine.

He's hardly a "self-styled expert".

If you think I am trolling just put me on your kill list, I wont miss you.

I asked a simple question, you just gave me bul**** answers. Most of the
really good replys I got via email.

Dont bother replying I am not looking for a flamefest....

Only in America - would grown men using $1,000 computers pay $30 a month
for the priviledge of lecturing someone about the "best" way to use an
80 year old technology.

Lazy Senior: I feel your pain!

If I were you, I'd look for any of the "2KW PEP" linears that come up on
Ebay or at hamfests, such as an L-4B: any linear rated for 1KW key-down
continuous input will work fine. If you have the money, a Collins 30S-1
would be my "top shelf" choice. I recommend you avoid the "1KW PEP"
units, such as the Collins 30L-1, since they're designed for SSB.

If you are using coax, don't forget to check it for breakdown voltage
before loading up: AM peaks will put a lot of strain on older cable.
Don't ask me how I know ;-).

HTH.

Linear amplifiers are not new to radio. They were used in the thirties -
yes to amplify am transmitters. It is old technology, and perfectly proper
to put out a signal that way.

When you compare efficiencies of a linear amplifier to a full blown class C
plate modulated amplifier, you must consider the filament and plate power of
the modulator.

I worked a number of stations in the fifties that were running a low level
transmitter into a linear amplifier, and they sounded excellent. The
Central Electronics 100V and their linear amplifier put out an excellent AM
signal. Even the KWS-1, which transmitted AM using only one sideband,
sounded great.

The modern amp covers 160, though, along with the other bands, so of one is
lazy (hence his name), the linear is a reasonable approach.
