Hey all! I have never had any luck with amps, I bought this used from a local cb shop and it's a paladin 300 ssb or am and it puts out 80 watt on high or low and when I turn it off my swr on the radio goes way off, like a circuit in the amp is shorted it did'nt do this till you talk on it a few min. should I throw this away sell it on ebay or try and have it repaired. I'm planning on a rci 2970n2 and when I get it I want need the amp anyway. Any takers or buyers out there? When amp is on swr is 1.1 or so.
