As far as this amp sounding bad on SSB. Remove the 3.3 pf capacitor where the so239 is on the input side C34 & put a 15 pf cap in its place. Problem solved. I noticed my meter wasn’t responding to my words on SSB & it sounded horrible around town. A friend 20 miles away could barely hear it...
They are class C for SSB use. I have one that peaks 200 watts with 15 swing on SSB. On AM I use a 2 watt carrier & swing 15 , gives me 40 watt dead key & swings 200 with 15 pep swing. The tuned input on mine is perfect, 1.2 SWR. Mine has adjustable tuning on the input & output transformer. I...
The bias does change in ssb mode. The transistors
slightly turn on in ssb mode to keep your voice from clipping. Then a delay is added too with a capacitor.
I’m sure after a person buys one they never do again. It’s a viscous cycle. Then another person watches this bogus video & that sells another. After that cycle of about 100 radios just guessing out of the North American population the damage is done. He made his money & then the new model comes...
It’s only to much on the variable, burn it up. Green am button out 4 watts is fine. A dx350 does peak 350-400 pep on SSB. Watch them on YouTube on bird 43 with a peak kit installed.
They want you to run it higher so when it blows they have a chance of selling you other stuff. I never punish my equipment, 650 watts to 1000 watts isn’t a s unit difference so why blow your shit up? This hobby is to have conversations with others local or distance on ssb. I’ve talked to people...
