Sorry Tom, you're missing the point. My statement is that if you have a
signal
going into the PA and you switch the bias sharply, (we are assuming from
cut
off, by the way), then you'll effectively pulse modulate it, giving a sinx/x
spectrum. On CW, we call this 'key clicks'.
Now you're saying that there are better ways to implement electronic bias
switching than switching to cut off. That is a different argument.
