[Milsurplus] TCS-12 AM output.

[lbfulton at windstream.net]

I appreciate everyone's time and expertise on my question.  I mainly lurk here as I find this forum very interesting.  I'm a retired airline mechanic and my last real training on tube radios were Navy avionics schools when I was in the USMC '68-'72, so I'm hanging on by my toenails when you guys get into a deep technical discussion.  I've had the TCS-12 for many years, found a source for an NOS dynamotor. Got the radio when I was at a technical school in AL in the '70's when they were fixing the throw it in a dumpster. The RX actually works, the TX on CW (didn't try it on AM). It's on my list of things to work on.  After reading the Navy manual I have for it, I was just curious as to why they designed the AM TX circuit the way they did.  If this dropbox link works, at least one person has done what I was asking about:https://www.dropbox.com/s/fo3eo3abgfa00dr/tcs_more_power.pdf?dl=0He got way less than double the AM output due to the limitations previously described here though.  Thanks to everyone.Garrett Fulton
