I want to build a variable 5 > 25 V DC supply @ 300 Amps. I feel I have a start with the UPS but need...

    FCC trouble? What ya'll think?

    And they allow 13 y.o.'s to be amateur operators too. Try studying for and taking the test. If no one has put the "golden screwdriver" into your radio and it's not overmodulating, with an A-B biased linear like a Texas Star you have a better chance of keeping splatter to a minimum. You have...
