if they have class a , ab, and d amplifiers, why dont they have a class c amplifier?

i just started thinking about that a few minutes ago.

Class C amps do exist, it's mostly used in RF (radio frequency) transmission because it doesn't meet the criteria of an acceptable audio amplifier...

thank you kind sir.

so basically a radio tower is a class c amplifier?

No...

Many large RF amps are A/B's, too. Just on a larger scale //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Class C's are often found in tuned circuits where you want a lot of efficiency and don't need the greatest in spectral purity...something like a cordless phone or wireless intercom would be an example. Or microwave communication/data links...

oooo i get it so like my cordless phone says 8.5ghz. that means it has a built in class c amp to get greater distances from the base unit?

thats my last question just trying to fully understand everything.

8.5GHz is the frequency range at which it operates...the handset and base each have a transmitter and receiver inside of them.

ok so it basically has its own secure channel.

like a cb radio has many different channels and such.

Same idea, although it's far from being "secure". Anyone with a receiver tuned to the same frequency in the same mode could listen in.

well i dont mean like hacker safe

just like secure from everday appliances to cause less distortion

Ok, so when this dood from my school told me he had a 800watt class C amp running his pioneer 12's he was lying out his azz?

yea once me my mom and my dad and 2friends went to see the intrepid in new york haror and we had walkie talkies so we could separate and the channels we picked were the security channels.

so my dumbass friend goes "we got a code red on deck 2"

and then i quickly changed the channels so we wouldnt get caught. it was dam funny tho.

Sure. There really isn't a lot of stuff to cause interference up there....

Or just clueless.
