Tranceiver with antenna collapsed
hi all,
I seemed to remember that antenna should be fully extended when transmitting. Otherwise, final stage of TX circuit will be overdriven and finally burned. I am just wondering if this is still true with newer transmitter that has better circuitry design. I am asking because I use my transmitter with SIM interface and I hate to extend my TX antenna in front of my PC. My transmitter does not have TX on/off feature, but it just start transmitting as soon as I turn it on.
Any thought?
Thanks, Ckay
