Don't worry Doc. I don't get offended by anything on a bulletin board

I have done the math once or twice The example of 375 watts carrier yielding 1500 watts P.E.P. followed by WTF was offered because anyone who had been doing this on the ham bands for more than 20 years is familiar with the ripoff perpetrated by FCC effective 6/91 IIRC. That is when the AM "grandfather rule" was lifted. I assumed some of the readers might have been there.

This example disproves the equation for input power mentioned earlier in the thread. Rather than making the disproof one large math homework assignment, I choose to cite a well known and accepted set of figures.

Again, 500 watts D.C. input to the final stage, 1500 P.E.P. watts out to the antenna. This is before the bastardization of the waveform done in the CB chain.

Again, D.C. input power cannot be simply calculated by the product of volts amps times 1/efficiency when the waveform isn't a sinewave. That was the point.

Do you dispute my statement that some chickenbanders are so dumb that they think splatter equates with station capability?
