I'm not an RF engineer (or any kind of engineer, for that matter), so please excuse the dumb question. What's the problem with 12V, and what are the advantages of going to 24v or even 48v? Quieter de
Thanks for the explanation, Cecil. It makes sense. Gulfport, MS eh? Well it's been a lot of years. I was in electronics/radar school at Keesler AFB from September, 1970 to May, 1971. We were newlywed
Dave, Art and Rick, I have to agree. As a new General-class licensee in 1966, I lost privileges to Incentive Licensing shortly thereafter. I upgraded to Advanced in 1968, but it wasn't until 1997 tha
