Important Safety Notice and Considerations
Like all high power radio
transmitters and RF amplifiers, the class E RF amplifiers, modulators
and power supplies described in this document use hazardous voltages.
YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE CAN BE KILLED or badly injured if you or
someone else comes into contact with any of these hazardous voltages.
The power supplies may contain lethal stored voltages even when turned
off or disconnected. You cannot be too careful! In addition, All
primary (120V and 240V AC line) inputs must be properly fused
at the point where the AC line(s) enter the unit. Never operate a
piece of equipment which is not correctly fused. To do so creates a
fire hazard, the potential for an explosion and an extreme danger to
life and property. Heat build-up can cause a fire hazard. If you're not
experienced with high voltage, high power radio frequency equipment,
get help from someone who is. Do not build any of the equipment or
circuits documented here unless you know what you are doing, and fully
understand the proper safety procedures and practices and implement
these in your own projects. A little common sense goes a long way :=)
