If you're limiting yourself to Connex and don't have more than $400 to spend, go for the 4600. Personally, I'd go with the Stryker 490. It costs alot less, will give you 130-150 watts, and you wont have to run crazy power cable for it. In my opinion, the transmit audio is also better in both...
I regularly see 40+ out of radios like the 29 and 25, and 35-40 out of the Uniden equivalents. I measure power levels 3 different ways: Bird 4314B meter for carrier measurements, Wavenode system and an o-scope to confirm PEP levels. The Bird doesn't have the accuracy I like for full PEP...
Maybe I missed something, but I don't see anywhere in that auction where he says any of it works. Even if it doesn't, you can likely get your money back out of it by reselling it as fixer-upper items.
My preference between the 78 and 29 would be the 29. If I didn't need the higher top-end power that those 2 will give, I'd pick one of the 40-ch SSB units made by Galaxy, which have much better receiver circuits.
R+R's website states that they do not use PEP meters. They even go so far as...
I dont mean to answer for him, but in general, the new Connex 3300HP's with the dual MOSFET's see 50+ watts PEP from a 14.2-14.3 volt supply. I don't recall exactly what reading I saw from his specific radio, though. I do too many to keep track, lol!
No. I've removed it completely from only two radios, and only after the customers heard the difference in the audio between one that still had the gun in place, and one with it removed. Turning it off doesn't totally remove its effects, as can be seen on a 'scope when compared to one with it...
