I was fascinated by them - they were so simple - and easy to understand. I think I actually built one. At first, I thought about the gains of U1 and U2, but that's probably not it; the amplitudes of the incoming baseband IQ signals are adjustable via software. Such adjustment nulls the opposite sideband, but has no effect on the carrier. So that leaves the RF side: U4, the dual D flipflop. Delays in its flipflopperie? I wonder if I could tack a small variable capacitor on each output? I see that Hans Summer doesn't use a flipflop in the QCX+. Rather, he just uses two outputs from an si5351a. And he's not trying to transmit with it. He gets the transmit carrier from the third si5351a output. I know that this has all been discussed in the past, and I apologize for rehashing it. I'm just trying to get useful output from my T41. - Jerry, KF6VB

Thanks Al¡ ? With the expanded frequency range of the T41 RF board (QSE+QSD),? I suspect this little PA will be right at home.? So far, I¡¯ve sold over 800 of them and I will need to re-order components for further semi-kits.? I¡¯m also thinking about partnering with a couple of people what want to make them (eg. Finished PAs) for those hams who want to build them but just don¡¯t have the time/ patients/ ability/ etc.? That way we all win. ? The 100W PA module is next.? It has the same basic frequency specs as the 10W PA but is 100W RMS (110W PEP)¡ and with the attenuator board, you can precisely dial your power from just a few milliwatts to 100W in half-dB steps.? All of it integrates into the T41 directly/ perfectly. ? More on this when I return from vacation next week (some vacation¡ I¡¯m replacing wood floors.? UG!). ? ? Dr. William J.

From: [email protected] < [email protected]> On Behalf Of Albert Peter Sent: Saturday, September 9, 2023 10:01 AM To: [email protected]Subject: [SoftwareControlledHamRadio] More T41 V12 Results ? Hi Everyone,
I have begun evaluating the 20W RF power amp by K9HZ (Dr. Bill Schmidt) with T41 to address the increased T41 V12 frequency and CW capabilities. Some of what I have found is as follows:
Frequency Response
A Bode plot of the amp stand-alone is shown in the first figure below. The response at both 5W and 15W (RMS) is essentially flat from 1MHz to over 50MHz. This covers the 6M band that the original T41 amp could not reach.
Power Output
Note that Bill (K9Z) rates the amp at 20W PEP, but it is current limited to about 16W (RMS). I tested the amp with two equal amplitude 7MHz tones but1KHz apart in frequency. at 16W RMS. The PEP of that is well over 20W and a scope plot of the LP filtered PA output (through a 50-ohm attenuator), showing the clean out, is contained in the next figure. A rating of 20W PEP represents a real-world SSB condition, since we rarely transmit sine waves on SSB, but rather complex speech waveforms.
I have used the amp quite a bit over the past week, and it performed flawlessly. No overheating at full power for extended periods on the 3.5"x1.5"x1.25" heatsink, with no fan. No thermal run-away. Also, because of the included current limiting, it is not possible to drive the output stage transistors to destruction. Since each final RD16H MOSFET is rated at 16W max dissipation, the amp is conservatively designed.
For anyone concerned about?less tha20W output, note that the difference between 16W and 20W is about 1dB, or 1/6 of an S unit on the receiver - not much at all.
SSB Signal quality?
That is currently under test and will be reported in the near future (waiting on some hardware components).
CW signal quality
As contrasted with SSB signals, CW is always a single tone, which is limited to 16W RMS (for sine waves 16W RMS is equivalent to16W PEP).
The first CW plot is a narrow band spectrum of a 7.2Mz CW tone from the T41 V12 into the K9HZ amp. The plot is centered on 7.2MHZ with a 20KHz span. Within that bandwidth the signal is almost 80dB above the noise, with no other spurious components. The next plot is a wide band spectrum from?3Mz to 30MH?of the 16W 7.2MHz amp output, through the T41 LP filter. The second harmonic is at -51.5dB relative to the 7.2MHz fundamental, well below the -43dB limit.
Efficiency
The amp draws about 620mA with no signal and 2.46A at 16W, indicating a class AB mode with about 45% efficiency at full power.? For reference, a typical 300WH portable 12V battery would provide well over 15 hours of SSB operation with the T41 and K9HZ amp.
Bottom line
Jack and I fully recommend the K9HZ 20W amp for use with T41, especially for those wishing to have an extended frequency response to 6M, with V12 T41 boards.
For readers of the T41 book, please note that we plan to include this material and more regarding V12 performance in a revision of the book to be added in the near future. These additions are reflective of changes suggested by builders of the T41. Afterall, the T41 was designed to be an experimenter's platform and that is exactly what has happened, both in hardware and software innovations. Thanks to all who contributed.
For those who already have the book, we will post the additional material to this site in the files section at the same time the book revisions are completed and uploaded.

Be aware that there are multiple libraries that are called"Rotary". In the SDT.h header file in the T41 project, you'll see:
#include <Rotary.h> ? ? ? ? ? ? // https://github.com/brianlow/Rotary
We always place the download URL as a comment for any library that is "non-standard" to the IDE install. That is the case here. Once installed, you can look at the library's examples to see how to use it, or use the code I posted earlier.

For my own use case, I only need 10W. Because my linear will turn
that into 800W. I do need to be able to output 15W or so just for
tuning. I have an MFJ998 remote autotuner at the base of my antenna,
and it takes 15W to urge it to tune. Hitting it with the full 800W
when it's not properly tuned can fry it.
Setting the T41 to a quarter watt for tune should get me a
reasonable output out of the linear.
So - the two power levels I need are 10W and 1/4W.

It will take some calculating to discover the optimum amplitudes out
of the Audio Hat.
Voice peaks need to be accounted for. So you can't drive too hard or
the peaks will get clipped.
The T41 power control is done by varying the I and Q amplitudes. So
that is another consideration.
If you want power varied from 1 watt to 20 watts that soaks up a lot
of the DAC range.
And then you have to add the voice peak problem on top of that.
