Ray and Floyd,
Wow what an education. You both have given me the much sought after first
steps to research. Thank you both very much for your explanations. The next
step will be more research, by me, on both of your views.

Bob "who loves the input of others, but forms his own opinions!!!)

P.s. library here I come!!!!!!

p.s.s The little signal generator that could is humming along right now...
audio out of the PC sound card, into a set of very old Sony powered computer
speakers (which have a headphone output), thru a stereo plug, via cheap
speaker cable, to the AF in of the EICO 324. AF modulation on the EICO is
set for 100% (reading the manual, tells me that this is really only 50% rf
modulation) RF antuation is set for none (rf coarse, set to hi) and rf fine
is set to 100. The output from the pc speakers is set about 75% up... Sounds
sweet coming from that big old 10" airline speaker in the next room. SO good
in fact that my 9 y/o son, turned off the n64 just to sit in the dimly lit
room and listen to the intersanctum!!!!!!...
Also note that I have trimmed back the antenna to a little under 9 meters,
wound on a broomstick type antenna, and the band is set for the normal AM
broadcast band. I also went around the yard and lost signal at the edges of
the yard, except near the garbage cans,,, strange huh!!!...

Pray tell us how you arrived at this statement whioh I remind you is a
matter of public record. Are you saying 2=10*10/20? 'cause that sure
the heck looks like what you said in the following:

On the other hand, if an amplifier rated to deliver only 2 watts
into 20 Ohms is used... that too will deliver 10 volts, also at
a miniscule power level into a 70K Ohm load, and work just fine.


Where's your 10 volts coming from? That is what you left out. You
never say what "THAT" is. As in "that too" in the sentence above
posted by you.

The statement is correct. When you read what I posted and
understand it, the statement then makes sense.

But hey I haven't paid my, syntaz lately. You missed the error in your
first post then you failed to correct it in your response. But yet you

It isn't an error. It is correct. As it says, an amplifier
rated to deliver only 2 watts into a 20 Ohm load can deliver 10
volts, at a miniscule power level, into a 70K Ohm load.

agreed that it takes 5 watts into a 20 ohm load to provide 10 volts.
How touching.

Howe


ver, the above does *not* say that it will deliver 10 volts
with a 20 Ohm load. It says that it can deliver 10 volts with a
70K Ohm load.

In fact any amp that can deliver 0.0014 watts or more can
deliver 10 volts to a 70K Ohm load.

If you want me to explain it again, using different words, I
can. You probably will need an slight attitude adjustment to
really learn it though... ;-)
