When Jeff Garff published his groundbreaking analysis (1) of the method by which the operating frequencies of the research equipment developed by Dr. Royal Rife actually worked, the whole concept of frequency generation was changed. A soon as Jeff showed that a single audio frequency sweep (we named it Jeff's " Big Sweep ") from 500 to 25,000 Hz combined with a carrier frequency of 3.1 MHz (3,100,000 Hz) would generate all the known Rife laboratory frequencies, we decided that it was time to design a solid-
Enter the personal computer. This was exactly what we needed for the audio frequency signal source. The computer would run a frequency generating program to produce the necessary audio frequency sweep to modulate the 3.1 MHz carrier. And our new solid-state audio processor (which would become the SSQ-2F system) would make the transition between the computer and the plasma tube. But, there was a serious problem...
Although computers are pretty good at playing music and speech files, it turns out that they are terrible at making nice, sharp, square waves, at frequencies much higher than about 1,000 Hz. Since we must have sharp square waves all the way up to at least 25,000 Hz for running Jeff Garff's "Big Sweep," this would have been a show-stopper. Luckily for us, it turns out that computers can produce very nice sine waves all the way up to at least 19,500 Hz or higher, depending on the quality of the sound card sys
