¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Arv, ? Thankyou for your advice. As it stands using the stock electret element wired as shown in the instructions produces a very poor ssb output. The equivalent output on cw is around 10 watts depending on the band, so I know the mic amp and modulator are being well under-driven. I will experiment and use the information you have kindly supplied to achieve a workable solution. Ideally I would like a solution where normal speech levels produce a ssb power of over 80% of available rf output as compared to cw on the same rig,same band. ? My Kenwood TS590SG effortlessly achieves that,so that will be my aim! ? Best 73 ? Ian M0IDR ? Sent from for Windows 10 ?

The microphone operating voltage can be isolated from the transistor input with a suitable
value capacitor (observe polarity if using an electrolytic cap).? The output of your transistor
amp can be isolated from the input to a following stage by also using an isolating capacitor.
That said, it might not be a good idea to add additional amplification to the microphone input
because that could over-drive the existing microphone amplifier and following modulator
circuit.? It really depends on your microphone, speech level, and room acoustics.?
