Ah.. Variable power supply.

Interesting approach, I bet it has some interesting kinks, as the
transistor's parameters change over applied VCE.

You could also call it PAM I guess.


As an aside, why are we hams so stuck on 12V and 50 ohms?
48V and 75 ohms look a lot better to me.

I would have a link to http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?KC6ETE-9 here
in my signature line, but due to the inability of sysadmins at TELOCITY to
differentiate a signature line from the text of an email, I am forbidden to
have it.
