Tom, please let me rephrase that. I assume from your previous answer that
if the tank circuit is designed to match the load impedence, then linearity
will improve. What, then, happens to efficiency? I am in the process of
building a pair of Gi-7bt's for 6 meters. There, linearity is of some
concern. Once I get that amp on the air, I plan to build a pair of Gi-46b's
for 160. On 160 I couldn't care less about linearity as I rarely, if ever
work anything but CW, and efficiency is the priority.
73,
Mike
