[Central-Electronics] 200V on AM

[Jim DiMauro]

Joe:

I've owned two 32V-2s and a 100V.  The 32Vs are gone,
but I won't part with the 100V.  The 100V sounds great
on any mode, and in my opinion if you have both rigs,
you're shack is 105 lbs overweight.

As for power out, I agree wholeheartedy with the
gentleman who said that 25-35 Watts is close enough to
100 Watts for many applications, but I also agree with
the gentleman who said that you'll eventually want
more power, so use a linear that can take the duty
cycle on AM, and run the 200V only up to 100 Watts
carrier.  If you have a beefy linear, go for the max
(375 Watts carrier) and you'll strap with the best of
them.

73,
Jim
