    What power supply

    I would stay away from a battery charger. It never hurt to buy more than what you see amperage wise. Adjustable voltage is nice but not a have to option. Astron makes nice supply's I've had mine for many years and no problems.

    Avoiding Splatter, RFI and other

    And percentages of modulation has nothing to do with anything . Mod can be in the 200% range cleanly but most would say 150 or less is the better way and most radios will not produce clean mod past 80% without some modding .

    Avoiding Splatter, RFI and other

    It's not only class c that is the problem crap tuned radios are about 75% of it then you have your spurious emissions from your 2950 style radios that are a huge problem not matter linear/non linear amp is behind it. But if you put clean in clean out and proximity isn't an issue your usually...

    WTF SWR

    Like some have said an antenna analyzer can be you friend to get you in the ball park and a bird 43 is your life line when fine tuning your reflect

    And as far as mosfets go who wants the extra heat in their radio? For what 30 watts ?????? You think someone will notice 8 watts versus a 30 watt MOSFET ????? I doubt it

    need help choosing radio?? Mirage 36hp? cobra?

    RFX 75's are junk period. If you want a good setup a good clean cobra radio with a decent tune and an external amp and you'll be rockin. People think those RFX 's are the best thing ever. Everyone I've known to have one has pulled them off and went back stock because they took a crap.

    Cobra 29 Competition Radio ...

    And forget what they say about 130% they might do that but not clean you'll be lucky to get more than 80-90% clean mod with out some work. 130% on that radio will look like crap on a scope
