About a week ago I received my new AM Max II DSP transmitter. I have a variable power supply that will allow me to run the voltage up to about 24 volts and I am seeing about 10 watts of output at that setting. I have been testing it at about 20 volts however and getting about 6 watts.
I am using it to drive an Ameritron AL-80B amplifier on the 7 mhz ham radio band and I get 100 watts of very clean signal out of the amplifier. I have had 20 or so contacts all over the eastern US with excellent reports on the audio.
Regarding the audio, the DSP unit is great! It allows various settings for the compression and I especially like the filter settings that allow me to control the bandwidth, when condition don't permit higher fidelity. Since I use external processing, I will soon be disabling part of the onboard features, which is totally under firmware control on the AM Max II!
PCS .. a great job on this unit! I'm having a lot of fun with it.
