    Any AM Deadkey Input Difference for the RM Italy KL 503 vs KL 503HD?

    The HD version still has a driver it. Just has a -7db attenuator installed.

    RM Italy KL 503 Crunchy

    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...

    Any info on old Stam Comm SC-50T-BIL ??

    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...

    RM Italy KL 503 Crunchy

    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.

    Anytone AT 6666 150 watts?

    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...

    Texas Star 350HDV

    20 volts will kill it. Only go to 15.

    Texas Star 350HDV

    Unless he is on SSB.

    Texas Star 350HDV

    That’s RMS, check on a bird with a peak kit installed.

    Texas Star 350HDV

    Not a illusion, you need to research a pair of Toshiba 2sc2879 with 20 pep into them on ssb with 14.8 volts. Pep on bird 43 peak kit installed.

    Texas Star 350HDV

    That’s correct.

    Texas Star 350HDV

    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.

    Can someone explain why anyone would use a SD1446 instead of MRF455?

    Because 455 are 60 watts & 1446 are 90.
  16. M

    4 X 1446 = 750/800 WATTS

    I bet there was no replies on that asinine price. They are 90 watts in class C .

    power output question about the sd1446

    They are rated @90 watts each

    Carl Built 400HDHG Amplifier / 2SC2879 Wattage Help

    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...

    Yes they are. If they wasn’t they wouldn’t be clean on SSB.
