[Amps] Power transformer for 600 watt rig

[Gary Schafer]

Hi Jim,

No I don't have LTspice.

What I was saying about what type of service the power supply is to expect
to see matters a great deal. A transformer (a good one) that is to be used
with a voltage doubler might have a secondary resistance in the neighborhood
of 15 ohms.

A transformer to deliver the same power supply voltage using a choke input
filter can get by with a transformer secondary resistance of a couple of
hundred ohms.
The dynamic regulation of the latter will be fine for an AM or FM rig but
not acceptable for SSB.
