? I spoke with a Cal Berkeley graduate about making solid-state output
radios as clean as the 830. He said it would be easy: Simply add a
low-ohm chip-R in the emitter or source (FET) to create RF-NFB. The
tradeoff would be a slight increase in drive power requirement. Since
the AN-612 or the MC-1496 balanced-modulator IC can produce 45db total
IMD, a 10x cleaner radio is possible.
