The RF Workbench / Simple DSB TX

What if you took the classic diode ring modulator

and replaced the center taped audio transformer with
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridged_and_paralleled_amplifiers#Bridged_amplifier
The BTL amp could be a China TF card MP3 unit and the diodes 1n5817 or simalar.
If it would work you can't get more simple.

Huh? / Burning Man Livestream
« on: September 03, 2018, 0104 UTC »
Just found this: Burning Man on youtube.
https://youtu.be/hvWVdfSoIqo
So far I can only watch it with Firefox and there is no sound. If I try to watch it with mpv I don't get any errors but it's just a black screen.
If I redirect the output by typing: mpv https://youtu.be/hvWVdfSoIqo > bm.txt
then open bm.txt I can see the errors. Something about no trailing CRLF.

General Radio Discussion / Android help
« on: July 29, 2018, 1737 UTC »
Any Android phone experts out there? I have a Kyocera Event C6133 that has the "boot loop" problem. I tried everything I found and nothing worked. I need to flash a new OS with a PC and USB cable. Just wondering if anyone has already been there. It's like trying to figure out how to get free cable WIFI, once you already know how it's so simple.

General Radio Discussion / FCC enforcement website
« on: June 12, 2018, 1942 UTC »
The FCC enforcement website has changed. I had not checked it in a couple of weeks.
Looks like they are focused on pirate radio now. I did not spend much there yet.
Just thought I'd let you know.
