[ARC5] 274 / ATA: Getting the Most Power Out

[J. Forster]

In the circuit.

The capacitor makes a series resonant circuit with the output inductor.
That's the way the Tx was designed to function, into a largely capacitive
load. That's why the output meter measures current...  the current through
a series RLC peaks at resonance.
