"Alun" wrote It would be a better plan to make the limit 100W, i.e. base it on the equipment, not vicea versa. That's a 'novel' idea! In that case the power limit should be 2.5KW, because that's how much output my homebrew linear will produce if I supply enough drive. If I build an even bigger linear, will FCC raise my power limit? (Or will they expect me to obey the regulations?) And we should make the speed limits in my town 140MPH, because that's how fast my supercharged Ssei will run. (Try that one in front of the judge!) Are you seriously suggesting this is an appropriate reply to what Alun wrote? 1. Who cares what your homebrew amp can run? You or I can make a larger amp than that. You are arguing past people like Alun and myself. The argument isn't about how much smoke any one person can put on the air. The argument is about making a power limit that is accomodating of the way that equipment has been made for quite a while and is still made today. In fact if you were to call for a power limit of 100 watts, I would say "that's fine." 2. I've been waiting for someone to bring up the automobile power thing. That argument is completely irrelevant to this discussion. If automobiles were made that could only go the speed limit and no more, then they would have very little power. If ham transcievers were comparable in any way to cars, we would have to start our transmissiona at a high rate of power, and reduce power as we get up to whatever it is we would have to get up to. The two just aren't related. - Mike KB3EIA - |

That says quite a lot. You asked a reasonable direct question. "Yes" is a reasonable direct answer, hard for anyone to misinterpret for "No" or "Maybe" or "Depends on what 'is' means". 73, de Hans, K0HB |

I though you were perhaps being facetious or obtuse. You were not, and that tells me a lot. - Mike KB3EIA - |
