Single Final Dual Final

which model Jeep do you have?

 

Rabbi, which is it, microvolts or dBm?

You came up with this new one, did mark shift his nomenclature?

Come on, you're the one who brought it up about the simple addition of power which isn't the reason why, it surely isn't a fall back of the final stage because these things are designed by people who just need a production plot to work, so what else could it be other than a simple sale pitch for those who don't understand how it works.

WOW my radidio has four finals, it talks better than you all's one with two.

By the way your reasoning to allow a device to loaf isn't always the most efficient way for an amp to work, sometimes it is the worse thing.

No comment on echos other than anyone marketing anything with an echo and ten meter rigs should be shut down.

 

The Stryker is going into the wife's Cherokee. My daily driver is a Wrangler with an Icom IC-7100 installed.

 

I'm not sure what any of that blubbering has to do with the original post. the guy asked a simple question wondering what the difference was between a radio with a single final and one with two finals. I explained it in simple terms of building blocks.

 

Have you seen this Wrangler?

No. That's wicked, but I think he needs a pole car...lol.

 

AND I gave him the real and simple answer - it is a sales gimmick.

He deserved a good answer, not one that just glossed over it without reason.

There are no building blocks I can see in how you explained it, it is a single stage amp, not something that can be pieced together to produce anything more than what the devices can produce.

Does this mean it is a bad thing?

No it does not, the job it does is done as well as a single device amp or a quad device amp.

There isn't much if any advantage of having four over one or two or two over one.

 

Telling him that it is simply a sales gimmick without explaining the technical differences is actually being dishonest like many of your posts conveniently ignoring certain facts.

Turbo-T had the best answer.

 

Wait a minute Rabbi, if you want to get into a technical description, then do it, I critique that but if you want him to have a simple answer, then it is simple, there is no real technical reason other than sales.

I am waiting for you to come up with the reasoning behind it, it isn't dishonest to challenge you on an issue that isn't easy to technically explain nor one that has a valid reasoning behind it technically, I don't see too many understanding why if it was explained.

What facts?

I've been doing this for a long time, I know what goes behind the scenes of these companies to sell these radios, most of what people think is a great technical achievement is just a sales gimmick. Like a swing kit, **gasp** I gave a way a long held secret, it was easy to explain but I didn't see your explanation - should I have put the math and diagram it all out for you?

It is akin to your Mark is cb god, no one is better than he is and your salesmanship of his skills as the only one to "tune" a cb into something that makes it the greatest radio in the universe.

Crap some of us get a good laugh off of Mark and his supporters.

I didn't gloss over it, you did, I said it was a sales gimmick, you added some simple addition like that qualifies as a good answer but didn't explain why or how it worked.

Turbo to his credit added in his first point that it was to make someone "have the warm fuzzies by having 40 watts vs 16" <<< that's a sales gimmick.

His second point is valid to a point but it isn't what I'm driving at. A cb isn't designed based on an amp, it is based on the needs of the market. You want a good radio, then there are simple, single final well modulated radios on the used market. We had this discussion before.

 

According to your logic the dual finals in the Yaesu ft-817 are a sales gimmick. I guess I can consider myself enlightened.. I wasn't aware Yaesu had to resort to sales gimmicks. I was always under the impression they had a technical reason for doing this.
I guess we learn something new everyday.
