>it woud be a nice amp for Dxing with 90 min delay!
Well, nice for me if the competition had to wait so long!
I am old fashioned, and have been working in the semiconductor industry too
long. As a result, I prefer tube amplifiers. One advantage of the Acom is that
it meets the new ITU Radio Regulations on harmonics - I'm not sure if the ICOM
does (-50dB for powers over 5 watts)
Has anyone on the reflector any experience with solid state amps and lightning
induced EMP damage?
Another possible problem if you are to operate a multi tx contest is cross or
intermodulation in the solid state PA which can be far worse than tube PAs -
partially because of the SWR protection circuitry operating from pick up. Having
said that, it appears that 9M0C and D68C haven't had any problems in that
respect, but I don't know how much spacing they have between antennas.
