Only a moron with an IQ of 65 would believe that manufacturers are installing beta-matched finals at the factory. I never said they were. You are talking out of your ass claiming I made claims of additional power which I did not. In regards to "put up or shut up" It's been my motto for several years now. IMD always occurs with mismatched transistors and no "golden screwdriver" can make it disappear without using beta matched components.Really......LOL You think those radio's you buy that are built in China have matched transistors??? Really??? I got a bridge I want to sell you in Brooklyn New York she is a gem!!!! You think Ranger is matching transistors! LOL Stop I can not take this my diaphragm is cramping from all the laughter! You think Amitron, Alpha, Dentron and all the tube amp OEM are taking the time to match tubes? Next, you are going to want me to believe that OEM are matching caps too! LOL The biggest source of imd is not due to mismatched transistors inside of the radio especially at the advertised power output or lower from the OEM! If that where true all it would take to clean up a Galaxy or the like from the factory would be to replace the factory installed finals with a matched pair nothing else! LOL No one that can turn on a scope and read the results would ever by that at all! If you install an unknown transistor from Palomar you are not taking out a mismatched OEM part and installing the same part as the OEM that is just matching. It would be like taking a pair 2SD1446 and replacing it with a matched MRF455 and claiming that you got rid of the imd by simply swapping out the stock parts for a matched pair of like parts but that would a lie! the 2SD1446 and MRF455 are completely different parts other than the fact that they fit in the same socket type and are both 12V devices they have nothing really in common so the fact that the MRF455 are a matched pair by itself does not mean the "matching part" was what made the difference when the designs are totally different internally. Hardrive you do not even know what is different about the Palomar parts.IN a court of law you would be made to look like a fool if you tried to stand on what you are saying as fact! McDonalds told us for years they had 100% beef patties but it turned out they were using Earthworms as filler for a long long time. I could parrot what McDonald's was saying but that does not make it truth or factual!
Common sense is worthless in this conversation you always need proof! Common sense said the Earth was flat for about 6000 years then what 800 year ago or less than that common sense changed and the Earth was obviously round. For a few thousand years the Universe revolved around the Earth then suddenly everything revolved around the Sun! LOL Common medical sense said that the body contained 4 humors and the balance of which caused illness. Common sense less than 200 years ago said that if you were ill you needed to drain off some blood to cure your disease! Less than a 100 years ago common sense said Marathon runners should drink brandy laced with strychnine during the race to improve endurance and lessen the perception of pain! Common sense said that DC was safer and AC was deadly according to Edison and people gobbled that up! Common sense says you get what you pay for so if something is expensive it must be better! Just like common sense tells you that if something is heavier it must be better built! LOL
Common sense means less than nothing because not only is common sense not very common it is full of outright lies meant to keep those in power in power and those making things and selling things in a postion of authority and knowledge!
Anyone that has an understanding of Electrical Engineering not just electronic circuit design would never say something is "common sense". In fact, a lot of hard science is counter-intuitive the deeper you go. Just look at almost everything in "Quantum Physics" almost none of it is intuitive and commonsensical! If you think Maxwell and Tesla's results and ideas are intuitive you are either a liar or you really do not understand them.
On top of that, anyone that knows anything about electronics could lower imd without installing mystery parts just by using matched parts, making sure all the resistors and capacitors used in a circuit have the actual value they are supposed to have and doing a proper alignment that a factory does not have time to do. On top of that lowering output power and fine tuning the bias again will lower imd with no new parts needed.
Next you are going to attempt to convince us that you are getting enough increase in output power to give an additional S-unit or 2 or 3 right!?!?!? Get real! I can not imagine the parts and your time are worth the end result compared to a proper alignment and an external amplifier built to ham radio standards not Texas Star, Hopper Built, BBI, X-Force, Davemade etc.....If the end result does not show up on a meter at the receiving end it is not worth anything let alone a premium! What do you charge for less than $20 in parts and 1 hour of your time? You repeatedly tell us in your video's you do not troubleshoot radio's or repair them! You swap a few parts and do an alignment. For a 5-minute coax job you want what $65, $95 or more just to trim to your magic length and solder two Amphenol connectors on. That is not for the coax and the connectors that is just your labor. $95 per 5 minutes is a bit high! LOL
Would you ever agree to have your work evaluated by a 3rd party? I am guessing the answer is no! Oh wait I have you use your logic! LOL....Common Sense tells me you would not agree to that! LOL
You have idea's that are heretical which is not a bad thing but we are well beyond the put up or shut up stage. My Dad would say "You're talking out your ass!" because you are never willing to prove your work or give people anything of substance to test your idea's we are all just supposed to take you at your word and as expert or Guru! The problem is America is not the most loving and trusting of Guru! LOL
For the record I have plenty of old CB radio's that have great imd! LOL Likely as good as your radio's or better that have not been modified at all to give them great imd!
For the record, Intermodulation (IM) or intermodulation distortion (IMD) is the amplitude modulation of signals containing two or more different frequencies, caused by nonlinearities in a system.
Two or more transistors working in parallel with different curves constitutes a nonlinearity. Nothing can remove the nonlinearity short of replacing the components with beta-matched components. The problem increases in direct proportion to the number of mismatched components working in parallel.
