Amplifiers

After the confusion of "Advance the Full Licence" and its lack of a little table format explaination I thought I'd try and put it a sensible way.

Amplifier Classes crib

A  Biased so it conducts a 100% of the time. It also remains constant as the amplifier is not Overdriven  <35%
B  Push Pull Amplifier one curcuit works with the positive one works with the negative. Works well with AM, SSB and Datamode  <50%
C  Suitable for FM Transmissions and CW as long as not overdriven <67%
