Title: Simple Speech Amplifier Post by: W7SOE on October 11, 2007, 02:00:24 PM Would a old simple tube PA amplifier be a suitable speech amplifier for a transmitter? My "new" homebrew transmitter requires a 500 ohm input and some of these old tube amps match that impedance.
I was going to use my Johnson Viking II as an exciter and speech amp. I am not sure that extracting the audio from the JVII is a good idea because it is a hassle in addition to the JVII audio being notoriously bad.

It does not take a lot of work to make a ve sound good and even easier at low power. AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
