Re: LF: Class D current spikes

Hello N1BUG,

Just to add things were MUCH worst using a X2 multiplier circuit
(Jay's). I now use an exciter frequency of X2 direct both from the
U3S, and as of late X2 from the TS-590 into a simple squarer and use
WSPR in the "Advanced" X2 mode to correct the WSPR tones. No issues at
all with either. OPERA is a no no as of this time, it is a FET killer
:)  Don't  know  why though. It would be great to get to the bottom of
all this!
