Anyone know how to make this radio into a 40-50w peak radio???

AMPOWER

i did the IRF520 MOSFET mods, and the swing mod to mine and got about 35-40 watts PEP.
thats on my cheap meter though.
this same meter shows my 148gtl doing 22-25 watts PEP, which is what it should be doing, so its not that generous.

good luck,
loosecannon

my 68elite (bought new about a year ago, now sold) sound freakin' great!
i used an m6B mic with it, and loved it.

Of course they do. any radio can sound like shit if it isn't tuned correctly. As you have read over the months , even Galaxy is pretty much going to mosfets in there radios as the norm. IM personally just glad (for now) that I can use power to take care of my needs , still doesn't mean I couldn't push that same power with a Mosfet fed radio.
