This message is not about Part 15 but it's definitely about radio. The Delaware Valley Historic Radio Club is holding its Spring show May 12-13. It's a wonderful show. Here is a link to more info: dvhrc.com/And here is a slideshow from last Spring's show: hagstar.phanfare.com/14281203#imageID=261094048 |

And the show actually runs an AMT5000 during every show, owned and operated by Peter Wieck, a member of our club (DVHRC). Many of the sellers will tune into it with their vintage radios to demonstrate that they work.

When the AMT5000 Was IntroducedIn the year the AMT5000 Transmitter was introduced the inventor, PhilB, demonstrated it at the Kutztown Meet. I think a MAJOR mistake Phil made was not making a video on how to tune the transmitter. That was a plus from Keith Hamilton on tuning his Rangemaster 1000. You actually see Keith himself performing the tuning process. |

It's good to make an instructional video as part of your support for a product, especially in the case of tuning for class 'E' operation, a newer method to the AM Part-15 transmitter scene. If it peak tunes and it's in Class C and sounds good, most users are probably satisfied, just not seeing the real benefit the AMT would have over others.
It's simple to just peak-tune a transmitter by using a meter, we've been doing that for years and it's intuitive, just tune for max, but class E is best shown and taught.
I think some of it might be a language barrier, high level engineers don't know how to talk to hobbyists very well.
I agree with you Druide Hills, I try all kinds of kits out there, from all over the world. One good thing American kits have over Asian ones is the instructions are so much better, that's the strength of something like a Ramsey kit, Heathkit or Panaxis once had.
I've built $5 pocket radios by E-packet from Asia by 'Paensonic' where I have to trace out the circuit because all I got was a schematic with it, no step by step.

He says: "High level engineers don't know how to talk to hobbyists very well."
Carl notes: hobbyists can't talk to each other very well.
