I was talking to a fellow Ham on 80/75 meters the other night and I noticed his
audio just didn't seem right. He was running a TS-950s, and a Henry amp and
talking into a D104. I turned my Softrock Ensemble II on and looked at his
transmit signal. Goodness... the bottom end extended another 1 Khz down the
band (KC for others... hi)!!!
I have to give Ten-Tec credit, when I looked at my Eagle's transmit signal for
SSB, it looked pretty dang good. Much better than some new brand Y, and others
I've seen on the air.
I do hope we give up on the 12 V power supply concept much like the auto
industry did with 6 volt systems in autos. It's time for us to move up in
voltage and embrace it. It'll open up a small market for someone to build
devices to combine and balance our existing 12 volt supplies for a 24 volt feed
to our transmitters. Or heck, why not 50 volts...?!?!
