[Boatanchors] Using a SG-230 tuner on AM

[Carl]

Now that the noise has died down I'll get back to the original subject.

Ive not disagreed with the math, just the visible proof on my test 
equipment.

Im now perfectly satisfied with the 4X at least with 100% plate modulated 
Class C.

Now for today. How about controlled carrier screen modulation where there is 
no added modulator power to speak of?

Or SSB with carrier?

Carl and otherson the boatanchors list:

I believe the SGC-230 is rated at 125 Watts PEP.

Since the Viking, DX-100, 32V-*, B&W, etc. ran
close to 120 Watts carrier, 100% modulation would
cause PEP output to be 400-500 Watts.

I don't believe it advisable to risk running that
sort of power into the SGC.

I'm pretty sure most list members are aware of that
fact but I believe that it bears refreshing.
