Re: 50W Amp Curious Questions - Why does 40 meter AMP put out so much more gain?

Yes, 100% agreed with Allison.
MOSFETs don't have an intrinsic frequency limit like a bipolar. Which is
also why good board layout and attention to parasitics is important because

I have a linear amp that gets over 40W at 6M using IRF510s.
Wasn't hard to do that.
The characteristics are not great but its not about capacitance as
a sole factor.? Then again input Z is a factor

Re: QMX - Any progress on key clicks please?
Mine clicks as well. I turn the volume down when sending and the clicks disappear and then turn it back up as soon as I¡¯m done sending to avoid hearing them.

Hi Greg,
AFAIK, IRF510 was designed to be a power switching device. Many years ago, some kind soul found that it can also be used as a low cost HF power amp, with more than decent results. But, as

It¡¯s possible the 40M amp is oscillating. Also possible that the input Pi
attenuaor has an issue.
I have 2 of those 40M amps and one gets 25W with 4 W in at 13V
2nd gets 50W with 4W in at

When you see an amplifier provide loads of gain in a particular band or frequency it is usually because there is a circuit self resonance, so losses are minimal, or there is some negative feedback

It's the other way round, Charles. A lower impedance load will place a higher burden on the output amp.

Hi- is this into a watt/swr meter then dummy load? Antenna connections
with SWR issues can fool inexpensive watt meters.

Hi gang,? Not complaining ...? ?Just curious.
I had recently built 3 of the 50W amps ( 15M, 20M and 40M). Want to use them for a little extra punch (say 10 to no more than 20 watts out) for field
