[Edward J White]

I do not think it will run in LSB?
Someone has the mods to make it work for LSB

  Will work independently, but only puts out about 1/10 watt.





  Second, what's the output impedance of the

  My guess would be 50 ohms, but I could not find anything in the book, the
  coax used to connect the exciter and amp is 50 ohm but that seems like 
slim
  evidence.


  Third, where does the modulation actually take place, the

  In the exciter.

  You do not like the sound of a 400 cycle vacuum cleaner?

  Good luck, will your amp run on 1/10 watt drive?
