id like to know what he was using to test the amp drawthis here is the type that should be used .@10 amps bad tune orhotrod said:went over this youll need 35 amps minium id be happier withGRTS said:AM - 1kc tone 95% modulated = 200 watts @ 28 amps
SSB - with 2 tone injection = 200 watts @ 35 amps
I tried to push it a little harder but it just increases IMD and you will immediately see the modulated waveform on the scope go to crap.
Test Equipment:
Bird 4391A
TIF 1000DC Digital Ammeter
Three Astrons 70 amp Stacked @ 14.00 vdc
40amps
Mr Clean said:SSB is pulling about 18. My bad. On AM its doing 40DK swinging 180watts or so. Just going by the meter on supply so it may be off.
