Enough of the personal attacks and snide remarks ...
Can you point to any commercially available AMATEUR amplifier in general
release (something that sells more than a hand full of copies a year)
that uses a rehostat to control the filament voltage?
Rheostats and other lilly guilding may be fine in your, one off, hand
built projects but you have no right to continually cast stones at
Ameritron for building competetive, quality products, particularly
when they are making the same trade off as the other amateur (and *MOST*
broadcast transmitter) manufacturers.
Stick to the amplifier technology and STOP with the personal attack
garbage. Your personal web page and QST articles are not the end all
and be all amplifier information. Contribute to the discussion, if
you will, but keep in on a "professional" level and leave the BS in
trash.
