Hi Jay,

Wonder why somebody would want that. Is it only the sidebands that peak at
50 watts? Seems like this would be like a double sideband signal if the
carrier was below the noise level. Just wondering. I always like to learn
something about the hobby.

I agree with you about the tube rigs.

Hello R.F. Burns:

From what I hear its a circuit that allows the carrier to be placed at 1
watt, and then the radio modulates up to 50 watts PEP.

But I could be wrong about this?!?!/!?

I am sure some of the other guys know all about this.

I have always thought that using another Modulator Audio IC (that is heat
sink mounted) and another Modulation transformer would be a neat radio
project. Then you could upgrade to more modulation power by driving larger
power transistors, and so on. So having a high power modulator modulate a
linear amplifier would be a neat project to do. Wounder how it would
sound, as compared to crappy class c amps out there?

But nothing replaces the sound and warm smell of a old Johnson Rig like
the Valiant with 3 each 6146's in class C, being plate modulated by a pair
of 6146's in class B push pull. Driving the Death and Dooms Day Thunder
Bolt 2KW Amp! Sitting around the room on a rainey day shootin skip and
having a warm cup of coffee in my Santa Claus Coffee Cup. Hearing your
audio rattle the tubes and transformers, ahhhhhhhhh yeah!

Heres a few Biiiitcheeeeeeen web sites!!


Then again the ol Gates 1 KW AM Broadcast stations with a pair of 4-400's
in class C, being plate modulated by another pair of 4-400's. It made the
floor sag, hehehehehehe. The National NC303 sitting to the side with a
Rub-Goldburg TR Switch. Oh man the memories........

Man I know, or at least I thought I had a few photos..........
