I don't think he can be suggesting that, Kev. Much of these
discussions have been above my head as you may imagine, but suppose
he's only referring to "linear" to mean the part of the graph that's
as close to a straight line as you can get with a decent device; the
central point of which the operating point is typically set on in
Class A? Could that account for the misunderstanding?
Probably not but I just thought I'd mention it in case...
