There is no reason for a 100 Watt linear to NOT DO 100 watts dead key am
with 100% modulation... same goes with all other amps or greater/lesser
ratings.
..
Explain to me how you can do 100 watts
deadkey out of a 100 watt amp and get 400
watt peak-to-peak swing out of it?
Huh? He said 100 watts, not 400 and he didn't mention swing at all.
Jay is right about the power end of it. If an amp is not rated anything
other than "100 watts", it would be smart to assume it is 100 watts output
*maximum*. That means 100 watts on FM or CW or any digital mode, but ssb
would be 100 watts pep as would AM. In the case of AM, that means a 25 watt
carrier (to end up with 100 watts pep).
