    this is a picture of a RF power amp that i have been building for the last few days it is for transmitting low frequency under water to the sub it will nock out 160 watts of rf that is alot of power i ran it into a dummy load for 3 hours and ran ok the last post was about something on high frequency 10ghz this is the other end of the scale low frequency

    notice from the picture that i have still got to finish the unit off you can also see cpu cooler and they do a brillant job at cooling down componants that produce alot of heat and im afraid it dose

    the unit has been mainly made from scrap bits

    John, me old love...what on earth is that? And what the hell does it do?

    Get back to something that we can build, please...you're frightening people off. A nice simple BEC build, together with an explanation of what does what will be ideal, mate.

    HI GUYS
    You asked what the RF power amp does the low frequency transmitter that i did for controlling the sub under water this power amp plugs in to that unit and amplifies from 10 watts up to 160 watts this then plugs in to a antenna which is in the water to control the sub, because this is on low frequency it will get through the water a lot better than using 40MHZ. I am trying to keep this as simple as i can and just in case you are wondering why the antenna is in the water where the sub is if the antenna was on the bank side most of the signal would bounce off the surface of the water like skimming pebbles only this would be the RF signal but if you put the antenna in the water then you would cut down on loses. Trying to work out antennas to work under water is quite difficult. Sorry to say chaps if you now can not see what I'm up to then i give up. I'm not trying to scare people off just won't them to see what you can do if you look out side the box
