LOL, that's a good one.

26.915 has been a long time AM gathering place.

He wasn't paying attention either. He missed the part where the OP was being told an antenna tuned to 50+j0 was extremely lossy.

You are warned. Here is a link providing 4 pages of discussion with additional links to numerous other pages. I read the first 2 pages and then book marked it for later. LINK

I never considered this in the past and always used a peak reading meter on SSB, but now my curiousity is piqued. Can you show some theory or math supporting this? I poked around a bit and couldn't find much more than blanket statements.

That's exactly what I would expect actually. Meters like the Radio Shack, Dosy etc., which use passive components in the peak detector circuit will generally read lower than a circuit with active components. When it comes to SSB average power, I've read numbers indicating 10-20% of peak and...

You're clueless.

Don't get all caught up in the old Cobra radio, they generally need work and aren't any better than the new fleet.

Connor, do you actually understand the real and imaginary parts of impedence?

It's got a problem if it's only doing 10dB.

Average SSB power won't even be half of that 60% figure. Where did you find that number?

I haven't used a hand mic in years so I'm not looking for a power mic or a n/c mic, I was just stating the obvious.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say if you need to talk a foot away from the mic, you're too hot.

The TO220 designation is just the package. I bought some 520's a few years ago at Mouser, they were so cheap I think I bought 50 just to make the shipping seem more reasonable. They are still around here somewhere.

:lol:

While your questions seem pretty basic, the answer depends on whether you are asking about conventional current or electron flow. Also, is the transistor being used in a common emitter, common base or common collector configuration.

LOL, absolutely sticky it so we can find it easily :)

I don't know how I missed this ? I think admin should sticky it so we can just link it. Certainly you have grown weary of typing it?

Don't sweat it LC, Connor thinks electron tubes store lethal levels of potential energy. I'd be looking for a refund on his tuition expenses if I were him.
