    Lets talk about amp biasing and building. Bring in the experts.

    I've never had or dealt with any. I would geuss the rm Italy ones? Im mostly trying to wrap my head around how things work, i fix stuff here and there. Mostly ham stuff. If i had enough stuff laying around it would be fun to build a big amp like something 1kw plus. I have a few 3-500z amps...

    And this looks class c too? I see just a single resistor for bias

    So heres a amp i have. A silver eagle 200 with 2 mrf455. Looks like its class c biased?

    That is indeed the holy grail of amps. Done right. I had a cobra 350xl that was similar designed but 2 pill. It had those output filter coils.

    So is that close enough to the combiner splitter to pick up heat and affect the diode? I see several caps and the diode and wire wound in series here

    Which is like what .5v? So the diode drops 13.8v to 13.2v? And the resistor limits current?

    So that basically goes from the base to the supply in? What does the diode part do?

    So are the texas stars class C or ab? And how does that work? Sends less power to the base for ab right. So looks like class c has just a single resistor?

    It looks like all these so-called 2 pill amps are bad

    This was spot on. Thats what i wanted to know. The design is in ham pa's but ive never seen a cb amp with that kinda bias. What is it they use in the typical mrf455 2 pill amps?
