Awesome. Great material :) will definitely read

Thanks very much for the reply. That chart was very informative. Saved it to my bookmarts. Much appreciated

I know you want to get close to 1:1

Yup in that order with power applied. Thanks for the quick reply. What is a ok range for swr and what is bad range? With amp installed.

with it amper up I get 1.5 thats having the meter hooked after the amp. The radio reads that its fine

Ive got another question. Am I tuning the antenna to the amp or just to the radio then add the amp in?

Is it bad to drive a amp like at 10 -25% of its range or is it best to drive it at 25% of its power all the time?

And by the way. If anybody thinks im gonna drive the snot out of anything it would be my nose. Not going to do that to any equipment. Its a waste of money to beat the crap out of it.

please do explain. Im interested to hear what you have to say. Not trying to start a war just curious why you hate them so much

Whats the point of going crazy with modulation?

Ok. Ill get right on it with putting a fan on it. Thanks for all the information. information is always appreciated. Not trying to go max swing. Trying to be clean in and clean out. Not the other way. Was just curious if It was just the dead I had to worry about for setting the radio and not so...

Ok. So I dont want the amp to get hot. How do I control the max pep? On the radio

So im not doing to many watts. Being its not a true pep. Using the radio shack metter what should I set my dead key as and when the amp is swinging the meter. How should I determine the watts kicking out? I have a blue face palomar 350 with 2 sc2879*s cobra 148gtl front face mic. Thanks

sorry but I find your comment to be a bit rude, i was Just asking a question. I will Not be getting a 600 and even if I did, I would not run it high. Just asking and learning. If I did hard mount it on the trunk, what kind of directional range would it be?

Thanks for all the info keep it all coming. Any information helps

Well I bought the rat shack meter. First one was a dud the swr function didnt want to work. So I exchanged it for a different one. Guessing the first one was a exchange. But anyways, when im using the 20watt setting to set my dead key. Am I looking at the high or low part of the meter line? Why...

Thanks for all the help everyone very much. Looks like ill buy the radio shack meter being it fits the bill so I can have a decent meter for now instead of having to wait a long time to buy a expensive meter(y)

Is it good bet to go with that palstar. will that meter allow me to set dead keyfor a amplifier. Like 1.5 to 5watt dead key?

Been doing research. Think I find a good meter to buy and then find lots of bad stuff said about them. Confused as hell which meter to buy so I can tune my radio myself so I dont fry or screw up anything with my amp that I have. what is a good swr/pep/etc meter to buy for the price that will...

What would be the best mount to use with backing plate?
