Did I miss something in school? Probably. All the discussions on modifying
linears for a few more watts seems ridiculous, or at least frivolous. db=10
log P1 /P2 still applies doesn't it?
Double the actual output power rating of that fine L 4 or SB220 from 1000 w
to 2000 w will only increase your signal strength on the receiving end by
3db, 1/2 s unit.
IF you could increase your output fourfold, 4000 watss output (that would be
illegal) you would only gain one S unit.
Attempt to do either and you will only exponentially increase your problems.
Have all the fun you want but increasing output on a kw linear by a couple
hundred watts just doesn't improve anything.
Like the man says, work on your antenna where you can make a difference.
And, if you are really disappointed with that L4 or SB220 you could send it
here. I'd like it just the way it is.
