re: CTI amplifiers ("The reply")
-
Hello again,
-
I wrote Bob back about responding to his statements
regarding the use of tube regulators, to inform him of
amps and invite him to join and to mention how some
of the amps members noticed his FCC ID numbers,
or lack there of.
He has been more than pleasant with me, however
his response below was a bit of a surprise.

Skipp.. I am not going to lower myself to people who
have negative opinions about somethings they really
don't know much about. Please don't consider your
comments among the "others". I have been designing
and building this equipment for many years and when
it comes down to it, the loud mouths haven't the
engineering background, nor guts to start a company on
their own. Big mouths should get the facts before
opening that mouth.
For example, there was a G3 one time that blasted the
amplifier and accused the design as "undoable". Why?,
because he assumed that the PLA800 was grid driven.
NOT cathode driven. He never looked into why and how
this kind of design works and works very well.
Gas regulators are not uncommon today. That also is
a crock of s.., They are still the most reliable form of
regulation and will remain that way for a long time to
come. I'm nothing going to debate a solid state shunt
regulator vs a gas tube regulator. The reason is because
these guys are closed mind to the use of gas regulators.
The amp reflector can be a useful tool for many,
however, the critics have turned it into "I know better
and ALL" session. Certainly a poor representation of
professional engineers today. Or , maybe that's what
we call professional engineers today?
I appreciate your comments and would certainly respond
to any you may have in the future, however please don't
expect me to respond to half baked comments made by
angry, misinformed critics who think they know it all.
For your info, the FCC ID # is PHDPLA-800 as type
accepted and the 6 meter will be tested and submitted
soon. You can assure the angry know it alls on the
reflector that the 6 meter will not be sold in this country
until type acceptance. However, we are finding other
avenues of markets outside this country which like it
very much and are welcoming it with open arms.
It may come down to a situation whereby CTI ComTec
will offer the 6 meter amp only to those outside this
country. At least they appreciate well made equipment.
That goes for the HF/PLA800 as well.
Sorry to sound so negative, but when you have negative
comments about your equipment, you look elsewhere.
73s and thanks again
Bob
