Oh no... the expert Mr. Bush has discovered me... and will expose me...
LOL Go ahead... make me laugh George. www.telstar-electronics.com I AmnotGeorgeBush wrote: By comparison to this piece of ****? Man, no wonder you're -still- embarrassed. Learn about amp biasing then perhaps you can comment on the fraudulent claims Griffey makes. |

Katz,
Actually, about 80% of the amps that I build go to amateurs. This is really not an amp for most CBers due to the premium price. Most CBers buy strictly on price... and don't consider harmonic content or reliability. www.telstar-electronics.com Katz wrote: While I commend you on your emphasis on 'quality', it's too bad you are wasting your talents building 'CB' amplifiers.

Capability and ability are 2 vastly different things.

ups.com... Yes, there will be a bi-color led on the front panel... green for receive... red for transmit. As for the SSB delay... it's still automatic like the previous model. How is it automatic? I see no circuit that senses the difference between AM and SSB and adjusts the delay time to compensate. You are just splitting the difference in the time needed for the COR circuit to operate. It's either going to chatter on SSB or lag on AM or possibly both. Amps have a reason for selective delay and quite frankly it's not much money or trouble to add this necessity. |

You are correct... there is one delay for both modes. As the designer,
my feeling is that a switchable AM to SSB delay is not necessary. My experience has been that a reasonable delay can be chosen that is acceptable to both modes. Actually, a slight delay in all modes has a distinct advantage when the amplifier is mounted in a remote location such as the trunk of the vehicle. It allows the operator to confirm that the amplifer was pulled in on the last transmission by numbing the receive (during the delay) for a very short time after the mic button is released. Without this effect, the operator has no real way of confirming the amplifier is operating to some level, since the relay can't be heard. www.telstar-electronics.com DrDeath wrote: How is it automatic?

My experience has been that a reasonable delay can be chosen that is acceptable to both modes. I disagree. Maybe the average Joe Blow doesn't mind a slow AM delay or a SSB that chatters, but I do.

You add a LED to the remote switch tie it in with the COR circuit, problem solved. |
