4 2sc2879 transistors, converted Twister am, was a 1x4 now straight 4 pill with bias.
From the spec sheet I see the 4 pills need around 20 watts drive peak to saturate.
Using a Stryker 440hp running at around 3 watts dk seeing around 20 peak with mic cut back to get this peak number.
Amp only showing around 50 watts dk and modulated to around 450 using the rat shack meter. ( I have two of them and using the stingy one, maybe 50 watt difference with peak mode and 1/2 watt at radio dk, very close with amp dk.)
Reports say I sound better with this than running radio at 6-7 watts dk and peaking into amp above above 45 with amp dk around 200 watts. Still peak watts from amp with this is just over 500 on said meter.
This amp on a rf spectral analyzer did 620 pep Bird watts with -45 db suppression. With a clean Cobra 29 driving. Not sure of the 29's output but I was assured it was a clean radio.
This amp with same radio did close to 900 in it's original configuration of 1x4 with -21db suppression.
Just trying to drive the amp correctly. I know the out put will not matter at the receive end.
Kinda of bored and just looking for something to do!!
