Well, you're objecting rather strongly to an assertion that I never made.
In theory if you want to get the maximum available power out of a generator
you _do_ match it's output impedance. In practice if you do this with most
RF final amplifiers you will reduce your final element (whether transistor
or tube) to slag -- that's why modern commercial radios have SWR protection
circuitry.

Please see my reply to your post starting with "Hi Leon" for a full
explanation, and please actually read it before replying. Remember also
that everything I say (including the attempt to match output impedances with
the wall socket -- I was only 8 but that's no excuse) has been backed up by
experament.

Paul, please look over my various posts on this issue and tell me where I
failed to point out that you can get more power from a bare RF output

stage
by loading it differently.


Sorry, Tim. I've no idea what you mean.
