Thank you for posting the link M42

Is the power to the 150 independent of the radio's power?

No, it is dependent on the output of the radio.
If you see 100 you will be in good shape but expect to see a lot of heat too...
unlike the rx75 it is a standalone amplifier...can't help thinking that little RMkl203 stuck on top of the case would be a cheaper and easier option...

 

[Mudfoot]

I believe he's inquiring if the amp and radio will have separate power leads.

I could be wrong.

 

[Brake Weight]

If they have separate power leads, then couldn't this 150 be switchable like an amp?

 

[Mudfoot]

Don't see why not.

There should be a means to tap power from the amp to supply power for the radio. It'd be corny to have two leads.

 

[Robb]

Yeah; the amp would need about 20A and a 12w radio would need about 2 1/2A. So, the power feed would need to go to the amp first. Then the amp will have a plug harness to feed the radio. My guess . . .

 

[Brake Weight]

How much would be needed to drive it then?

isnt that add on the wackiesnakeoil pack ?

Just a bolt on amp.

The whackpack is supposed to be, well, I'm not sure. Basically you take a soldering iron and randomly install do-dads and gadgets to the board until you get more dosy watts. More is gooder so grab one of those stripy things and solder it on to that little round tank looking thing.

Much different than it's lil brother, you keep the final in the radio and dont have to strip parts out. Install a switch to even turn it off completely. Much easier install, pretty good watt's also. I was gonna buy an rfx-75 but now i changed my mind, few xtra bucks gets double almost tripple the watts. If you're gonna hate these lil gadgets then dont get one, not everyone can afford a Texas star and a huge power supply.
