[Milsurplus] Just had to comment - chirp

[hwhall@aol.com]

The Philmore NT-200 is a two stage transmitter so I do not consider it a MOPA transmitter.

 I'm not sure I understand that. I assumed that if the oscillator is a different tube than the final amplifier, then that was the meaning of a MOPA.

 Thanks to all about the information about the Bruce Kelly and Philmore transmitters. The Philmore NT-200 is a two stage transmitter so I do not consider it a MOPA transmitter.

Does anyone remember the W5LET had single tube transmitters in Electronics Illustrated?

I built one using the 6AQ5A tube and it exhibited less chirp than my AC-1. It specified and coil only available from Allied Industrial division and had a long time delivery so I substituted a 4.5MHz television IF coil and it worked like a charm.

A copy of the article starts on page 100:
