Humor aside, one thing that phone transmitters require is power. The fact that you can copy a CW signal at a far lower signal level than a phone signal means that lower power can be effective. There

What is sad is that most ham transceivers draw way too much current in receive. Often as much as an Amp. A battery would last much longer if the receive current drain on the battery was a tenth of th

Without a lot of compression and clipping the duty cycle for SSB is only 20%. Given 100W out at 60% efficiency, we are looking at roughly 167W input at the 20% duty cycle or roughly 34 watts. Dependi

This is a bit of thread drift, but LORAN C was the best backup for GPS and easily repaired. Using one satellite system to back up another is not good practice, as both are easily defeated by the same

My K1 draws about 55 mA on receive and puts out 7 watts on transmit. Of course it's CW only. :-) I may get a KX2 one of these days. We'll see. Going back to the topic of amps, I have seen very little

There are exceptions. If you look at the schematics of many transceivers, it looks as if they were designed by committee. Elecraft, TenTech and some others do not have excessive stages and are not cu

Unless they provide you with the firmware/software, the schematic may not tell you everything you need to know anyway. They will become ever more true as the industry moved to SDR. __________________

I'll admit the average ham, or even most hams would have a problem understanding computer source code, but all it take is little studying of the particular language used to follow it. OTOH there are

The NCX-3 came out in 1962, the Drake TR-3 in 63, and the Swan monobanders in 61 which was only a few years after SSB became serious with the 1957 HT-32, 1959 CE-100V, 1960 HT-37. Before that SSB gea
