If you use it right the power output from the the radio is lower than factory settings for a cb set and lower than spec for exports. The finals are safe. Cranking up the power to 11 defeats the purpose of installing it because the audio will sound like poo. ![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The only people that think the voltage of the external power supply is a problem have trouble comprehending high level modulation. From experience I will tell you that one of the opamps on the board will croak long before the final in a cobra 148.
The am regulator on the board will run cooler on a cobra 25/29 with a bipolar final. A lot of ssb rigs run the final in class B in AM mode. The instructions with the asymod tell you how to change it to class C like an AM only rig would be.
