Hello fellas,just a brief msg to clarify a few points in regards to my
previous msg to this relector,first my comments were my own and completely
unsolicitated in any way ..and secondly to offset some comments om why a VK
would want a amp with a 4CX1600B power tube.
well maybe the green eyed monster..!!??
anyhow in June 1996 i rang Mr Rudi Breznik to order one of his desk top amps
(powered by a pair of 4cx800a7's)and he told me of his intention,and asked
me what i needed in regards to a AMP,he told me he was delevoping a new
single tube 4cx1600b model and would i care to wait,
as the story goes i told him i had 2x fl7000's.a tl-922,a fl2100z,but even
if you combined them all.you still wouldn't have a COMPLETE amp to do
SSTV,PACTOR LEVEL 1,PACTOR LEVEL 2,G-TOR,AMTOR,RTTY,CLOVER II, and so
on,which i do use all those modes,as the main problem was the switching
times in the 922, the heat problem in the FL7000's..and just not being able
to cope with our extremely hot summers.so he came up with the EMTRON DX-2
single tube 4cx1600b,and at this point in time does all i want on it's ear
hihih, the temp problem does not exist with this amp and his twin spin
turbine cooling.the switching is 2millisecs,the band width of the
transmitted signal is the best there is,
i have read of the HEAT probs with contesters in rtty, with their desk top
amps, and AMP Manufactures selling after market FAN add ons?well i can
assure you you can key down with this beast,and won't have to worry abt over
heating .i quoted 78CFM,but Rudi corrected me,it is 72CFM ..???
check out the others.
EMTRON will have a web page address very soon with all relevant info.
very 73
