(Since this is a diversion from the original topic (SR-500 Tornado), I assigned a new topic.)
Thanks, Bob and Walt,
Since the SR-160 and SR-150 both use 12DQ6B finals, wouldn't the sockets be the same and the same rewiring of sockets be required?? On further examination of the 2 radios' schematics, I see that the circuits around the finals are a little different, so maybe there would be some additional changes needed there, too.?
I agree that the potential performance benefit would be small.? That half of an S unit was, apparently, sufficient for some hams to buy an SR-500 instead of an SR-160 a several decades ago.? Maybe it was just a bigger number on the front panel or the invoice.?
Cheers
Halden
