SAW A HIGH POWER, INEXPENSIVE SOLID STATE AMP DESIGN IN QST A COUPLE
MONTHS AGO. IT WORKS FB ON CW, BUT CANNOT BE USED ON SSB DUE TO
NON-LINEARITY.
MY IDEA IS THIS: BRIDGE A COMPARATOR/ CORRECTOR CKT TO SAMPLE
OUTPUT, THEN MODIFY INPUT, TO MAKE THE THING NEAR-LINEAR RESPONDING,
USING SEVERAL MILLISECOND DELAY.
THERE IS A ROMANCE TO THE OLD TUBE AMPS, BUT ALSO BIG NEED FOR CHEAP,
SOLID STATE POWER.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS. CUD SAME COMPARE/CORRECT
CKT NOT BE USED FOR TUBE AMPS, RUNNING NON-LINEAR, HIGH EFFICIENCY
CONFIGS??
