I really wish you technical weenies would stop making such sweeping judgments! Lots of folks need instant on! I need instant on! I NEED INSTANT ON!!! OK? I'm a DXer for Pete's sake!!! Slow warm up r
Although I do understand what you mean, if you just turn on the amp when you turn on the rig there is no problem, so the issue isn't that one NEEDS instant on, but that one WANTS instant on. Personal
That hardly seems a satisfactory solution. I seldom use my amp, because I seldom need it. (I don't subscribe to any any of the 75m back-patting nets where I need to be 50 dB over S9 and have tubes wi

An 8877 has a 50w heater. Is 50w a big deal? In this neighborhood, we're talking 1/2 cent per hour. Not if the heater is operated just above the minimum V spec. // I have seen Europe-California 80m

Hi Peter, I think there are some who do as you suggest, many do not. Everyone's operating habits and concerns are a bit different. As a DXer and contester too, I sometimes find myself tuning around f
I am surprised that in all of this now one has mentioned the class E topology. For CW only use it is perfectly adequate and can be very inexpensive. There are parts available now with switching times
I'm intrigued - I thought that class E operation relied on the load being well defined, with load VSWR tolerance being poor, especially if you take advantage of the low dissipation to use small trans
