[Elecraft] amp and coupler questions

[Lyle Johnson]

Hello Peter!

I wouldn't depend on the AT-11, or any antenna matching system, to provide
harmonic suppression for your system.  The output from the transmitter
should be clean, properly filtered, etc.  The matching system should do just
that -- match the transmitter to the load -- and nothing else.

So figure several filters and some switching arrangement on the output of
your AN-762 amplifier.  AT least you can rest assured that the filters will
be properly terminated into 50 ohms!

72 (or 73 if you are QRO),
