Im sure others will chime in but some of those CB amps are very useful on ham bands. BUT, they usually all need the following: Rebiasing for true linear service. Since the circuits are mostly copied

Hi Guys, The old CB-type linear amplifiers can be VERY useful peripherals for the mobile operator -- especially on 10-meters, where very little is needed in the L/C networks incorporated within, beyo

These are all CB amps. There are at least two problems which make them unusable on the ham bands. One is that they often do not have biasing circuits that are really appropriate for voice transmissio

Hi Vic et al, All the more reason to buy a tube-type CB linear amplifier for Ham service... The ones that I've seen come with conventional pi-network output circuitry which includes a variable plate

There are at least four major problems with the amps, not two. 1.) Filtering. They need filters to reduce harmonics. 2.) Power output. These amps are all really ratty at rated power, and it has noth

Running low voltage bipolar transistors on a big antenna or at high power is really not a good idea and the cure isn't as simple as setting the zero signal idle current or adding a harmonic filter. T

Thats a loaded question since even some poorly designed ham amps and transmitters dont meet FCC regulations. The only proper way to tell the harmonic content is to use a spectrum analyzer. In additio

The tube one's would probably (i.e. 'might') have fewer harmonics. Part of that is because a tube amplifier is inherently a fairly highish Q due to matching from hiZ to 50 ohms. Transistor amplifiers

If the pi network is not different than, say, a 30L-1 or an SB 200 or any other amp with a pi network, why would harmonics be any more of a problem than with other amps?< Firstly, if you do the sums

More than one legitimate ham brick manufacturer produced a CB amp under a different "corporate" name. I assume they used similar engineering "expertise" with the bias circuits. BTW, a 1N5408 on top o

Measure the voltage regulation of that method when you drive the amp with rated drive power and most people's opinion will change. It's a crummy system at more than a few watts. As the base is drive

You keep saying that Peter, but it isn't true. A simple pi network can easily make a class AB2 amp -55dB or more for harmonics. For example the AL-12 series of amps makes about -60dBc on bands where
