WorldwideDX Amateur Radio Forums

I had a RoadPro years ago, nice little low powered radio. As I recall it did 14 watts PEP. What kind of 4 pill amplifier do you have that gets 600 honest watts with that low of drive?

None that I know of. My class C and B amps might bump 300 watts peak with that low a drive. A TS 500 having the snot driven out of it might do 525 watts peak.

the texas star 500v i had showed half a hair under 500 watts on my astatic 700 meter with 16 pep coming from a uniden washington . the export i had would do 21 pep on the meter and got 600 from the amp .

yea , not a bird meter , but close enough for my needs considering how RF works in this universe .

600 watts on a Dosy is roughly 300 watts on a Bird....in other words, you are cooking with gas.

Yep methane gas to be exact and we all know where methane comes from.

I was thinking about a little further along down the manufacturing line specifically the part involving bovines and from where they emit it from.
