Some months back i asked about a pickup loop that was installed either
in broadcast transmitters or somewhere in close proximity so that they
could provide sufficient power to operate a Gates modulation monitor.
The Gates unit needs approximately 10W to drive it properly. I'm
wondering if a person couldn't use a capacitor arrangement to provide
the same results. TMC uses that on their power amps to provide 1/300th
of the output power to drive a monitor, scope or freq. counter. Now i
have a sealed box with the proper connectors on it that takes 1 kW input
and delivers i forget what (1 mw maybe) to the output in a T
configuration. It's not a big box either so i'm suspecting that it's a
capacitive type unit.
Am i thinking along the correct lines here or has the fire gone out in
my pipe? Is this a reasonable line to pursue?
