I bumped into one of Bells happy customers this morning and I figured I'd share his testimonial with you.

Funny, my 955hp from bells ran great into a monkey made antenna. Sounds like installation error to me.

Maybe I didn't ask enough technical questions. I was simply asking him the name of the guy responsible for tuning the radio.

I only listened to a few parts of it. I heard that he was running his antenna as a sloper and assumed that he didnt have a clue. What kind of coax and analyzer did he use? Fiberglass body? Could be a million things wrong that have nothing to do with the radio.

The guy was 5 miles away from me right across the valley and none of those things mentioned would distort his audio in that way.

Mark said in the last video a the 955 used high level modulation in AM mode. Modulation percentage of a collector modulated transmitter will change when working into a bad load. If bad enough the audio sounds like poo because the waveform is severely distorted.

Of course collector modulated applies to bipolar finals. Can anyone confirm or deny that mosfets used in a high level modulated transmitter would be any different?

jokerman is a good name for him. he is a joke.
he should get a man size scope. and stop trashing others.
i've had a few radios on my bench. like i said he is a joke.

I do find his youtube videos very entertaining.
