VA3ES, the Cobra 29 and other transformer driven modulation schemes in most CBs is ALREADY configured as an autotransformer..... Which is what timtron is advocating doing.
W8JI is off his rocker on a lot of things. There's a reason he does private consulting now, and doesn't have a 'real job', so to speak... He's made his millions from the AL amplifier series, and now doesn't have to put up with peoples bullshit... As such, he pretty much comes up with his theories and tells everyone who doesn't agree with him that they are full of crap and to stuff it. I've been watching the argument and war between w8ji and AG6K for years... it's funny, and makes channel 19 look stupid!
THAT BEING SAID, he is correct about some of the things in his article about 3 diode limiters, peak loading, etc.
Anywho, the circuit is here, people can use it if they want... It's getting to the point where people are arguing about what to call it, rather than discussing what it can and can't do... We got what it can and can't do. It CAN'T make up for an idiot behind the controls. It CAN, as I pointed out, using proper processing and audio equipment, make a LOUD AS HELL radio (station).
