It is usually faster, but these days, not usually better. And the speed gain is only about the operator of the sim package, not the sim. A good sim app user can beat you, hands down, and have reliable numbers to compare with real builds as well.
Sim apps have gotten orders of magnitude tighter in their iterative analysis and inclusion of parasitics, etc.
Far better than you, with or without your bench.
Really ?:-)
This post is only to record Larkin's asinine statement, "...reducing transistor base current hence gain..." for posterity ;-) ...Jim Thompson
Oh, yes, I forgot to emphasize that engineering term, "...almost exactly..." :-) ...Jim Thompson

Reducing i(b) makes i(e) fall, r(e) rises, stage gain falls. Seems okay--have I missed something?

Simulation is like breadboarding. Neither is designing.

In my oscillator, a c-b schottky diode would keep the transistor c-b junction from conducting, and keep the transistor out of saturation. Tempco would still be low. That simplifies things considerably. Not bad.
I seem to recall the DC base voltage being about +.6. So the collector swings to just about zero, and the AC output is 2*Vcc p-p. Somebody could Spice this, if they were interested, and see exactly what happens. The transformer ratio gets involved some, too.

You're an idiot. Sitting next to my breadboard is my clipboard and calculator, Johnny.
You really do have a problem using tools correctly.
simulation is simulation, Johnny, and that is what you were dissin', boy.
And as I noted, the advanced development was done on computers.
Microwaves are strange things, Johnny. Not too hard to manipulate and observe.
That would depend on how many parameters one incorporates into any 'model' utilized.

Yes, idiot. conception is a bitch. 'Done' before Spice, but optimized and modeled in the current world WITH it. ALL of the current implementations are computer designs. Sorry, chump.
Just because you ASSume worse then a street cop in a ghetto doesn't make your pig assumptions correct.
Yes, but they would not be as retarded as you claim to be scientists are by rejecting the pinnacle of human science based on Luddite mentalities
You lose... again. Completely predictable.
You use the oven to trigger the controlled oscillator.
That one might slip past a few of the folks here, including its target.
Neither simulation nor breadboarding is a safe substitute for understanding what's going on.
Wow, you are obsessed with that part of the body, and its various products.
John
That's crazy. I sold stuff before Spice was invented. Maybe you did, too.
Spice can be useful but, like breadboarding, it can devolve to fiddling with a circuit until it seems to work.
John
Tell us about, or better show us, something you're designing.
John
Answer the question.
John
That's what those of us that understand the importance of simulation are trying to tell YOU.
Nice snip of the calculator and clipboard reference, supporting your pathetic claim that I do not know what is going on and do not do math. Sorry, Johnny, but that math on that bright move is pretty evident, loser.
Since you are so against it, it is obvious that it is YOU that "does not know what is going on".
