I am new to the AMPS group and, in fact, new to amplifiers since my last amp
was a Heathkit HA-14 25+ years ago!
I have a newly acquired Clipperton L which I need some information on. My
questions are:
1. Since I intend to run this amp on SSB very conservatively to prolong
component life ( and my pocketbook), should I run it in the CW (low power)
position (approx 1500V @ 670 Ma) or in the SSB (high power) position (approx
2500V @ 400Ma)?
2. Are there any drawbacks to conservative operation of this amp (other than
the obvious foregoing of 1-2 db)?
3. What modifications are cost effective for this amp?
Since I have noted threads indicating many of you have used the Clipperton L
for years, I'm sure this is the right place for advice!
