HA3HZ All Messages By This Member #103632 Thank you for sharing. Useful video for Sbitx users. It's a shame that the camera renders the close-up image out of focus, the further one is fine. I look forward to more videos. ps.: I assume correctly that you also used an external output stage? -- Gyula HA3HZ
Petr Ourednik All Messages By This Member #103633 Joe, you said Sbitx is at 50% of powet output to drive ext. PA getting 40W output.? It sounds like 20W in and 40W out…? Petr
Joe All Messages By This Member #103636 Petr, On 20 meter with 2 tone test I get about 13w So when I run ft8 I turn it down until my external amp transmits around 30 -40 watts. The sbitx then is only putting out a few watts to drive the amp Doing it that way I can run auto cq all day and sbitx stays very cool. When touching the heatsink, you would never know I am Transmitting . The ext Amplifier is a 150 watt solid state. Very well built. I know it's over kill but the amp is made to take 10 times more power? and this way the combined system stays super cool. I have used this method for years ... so far so it's good.

Joe All Messages By This Member #103637 Gyula, I need to set up 2 stationary camera? one for sbitx and the other for the ext monitor. I run my sbitx on digital so my tx out is only a few watts. I feed it to a 150w solid state amp. I adjust the sbitx drive until I see around 20 to 40watts on the Amplifier. This way the radio can work all day long and it stays very cool. The ext amp does not care either because it's able to handle 10 times that out set. All in all everything runs cool ?? Joe?
