Hi Wolf,

Hello Markus,

Ok .. i had assumed the problem was the flipflop (or binary frequency divider) which would be in an unpredictable state when not fed with a phase-coherent signal "in the gaps" (zeroes in the Opera- or whatever amplitude keyed signal).
This could be solved by providing the auxiliary output from the soundcard (at 2 * f_tx), to keep the divider chain running.

You are right, this is the "problem". Actually there are no problems, just interesting jobs :-)

Depending on the MOSFET gate drivers, it may also be possible to feed the 'keying signal' to an output-enable-signal, but I'm not sure if that would put the driver output in high-impedance state (which would result in a catastrophic 'bang' if both FET gates were left floating).
The MOSFET driver is an IR2113 which has of course an enable pin. However i need the PTT signal anyway and if just tones are coming from the soundcard then this is no solution and i will need a constant, uninterrupted tone and another tone for the VOX, as you say.


(p.s. just managed to build a transformer for a low-voltage MF PA, which transforms 0.6 Ohms drain load impedance to 12.5 Ohm with very low stray inductance.. using copper foil instead of wire, and thin adhesive tape ("Tesafilm") as insulator. But that's another story..)
Hmm, P ~ 300W? :-)
An alternative to the foil could be: 4x http://www.reichelt.de/index.html?ACTION=""> 200/120
