Looking for help

Loose cannon, somehow I missed thanking you for your post. I do apreciate it, I understand how transformers work I am just trying to piece together all they do in AM amplifiers.

So far I have identified theese roles.

Voltage transformation (obviously)
Isolation from free radical RF (very untechnical term)
Impedence matching
Frequency (bandwidth) matching

I don't believe that broadband transformers are the best aproach to each one of theese, but they definatly get the job done.
If I have missed a role or anything else, please chime in and straighten me out.

Thanks again
Ron

Weight!
The transformers made up of laminated plates, gobs of wire, and big housings weigh more than those itty-bitty graphite thingys. Everybody knows that if it weighs more than you can pick up, it's gotta be better!
