    hi could you give me a bit more specifics on how to bypass the first tube as mentioned above? Parts, steps. Thanks!!

    Need Amp Recommendation

    Has nothing to do with not wanting to buy "real" equipment. I said earlier I would spend the money if I thought I was getting a good solution. But there really is no reason to scrap the one I have now since it is working well and has suited me for many years. Someday it will go and then I will...

    I've decided to go with the tuner. I figure it is the lowest risk, will hopefully give me a couple more years out of the amp, and saves me at least $800 in the meantime. Perhaps I will try the DMANS fix at some point as well.... Thanks.

    No I realize I won’t get any more out of it and I wouldn’t try. Amp wasn’t designed to do more then what it is. Just trying to figure out now which to try. I’d have to know the suggested wire and cap specs he referenced but I might be willing to try that to save some more money.

    What about DMANs possible option to bypass the first tube?

    And this should eliminate the SWR issue if done correctly in addition to allowing a higher drive?

    Need Amp Recommendation

    what size wire would I use and what size trimmer cap to start with? Doesn't sound to bad otherwise

    Need Amp Recommendation

    Hi Dave. I would do that but honestly I would need to have step by step and parts list. I’m not as knowledgeable to figure all that out the way you all are. ;( I’m pretty good at actually doing the work but not designing it. If that makes sense.

    Gotcha. that's the comment I just left.....

    Need Amp Recommendation

    So it goes in line between the radio and the amp instead of between the amp and the antenna? Maybe that's my confusion...

    Need Amp Recommendation

    Guess I am confused on how to read the power ratings. The tuner does not have to rate at or above the power output from the amp? See, I told you I didn't know alot about them! lol.

    Very quick look at tuners. I assume I would need the AT-1000 Pro II since the amp does 750. That tuner is $540. Granted I know very little about them since I never had a need for one so I could be mistaken.... the other ones have low power ratings.
