Hi I have a question(s) this time about a Texas Star 667V and I really read thru as much of old Copper Forum posts as I could first hoping to find an answer before posting.
1) Firstly---is the amplifier's output the same on AM as it is on SSB? I've read here in old posts, to expect about 500W (+/-) with this amp (with "normal" voltage levels and input).
2) But, will I see an increase on SSB or will I see a decrease on AM---or will the output levels be the same?
3)One more question---The amps specs at Texas Star's data sheet lists inputs of either 4W or 20W. Is that telling me those specific inputs can be BETWEEN 4W-20W, OR, are the input levels somehow "fixed" internally to accept one drive level or the other? Or does this amp basically has a variable input drive anywhere between 4W-20W that I can simply change with the radio's variable output?
Please I could use the answers to these questions very much "before something awful happens" as I am not very familiar with this (seemingly popular) make of amp. Thanks---Foxhunter |

Fox, in radio theroy SSB is 3x the output than AM this will show as Peak Envolape Power aka PEP that is why alot of people operate SSB during ship conditions |

Hey thanks I appreciate it I understood the signal's split 3-ways between the carrier and two sidebands but wasn't sure if it was divided evenly into "thirds". |
