    amp recommendation for S45HP

    I am partial to the tx stars because of efficeincy of amps drawn, but i guess with my trucks setup (160amp alt and 2 batts) the tnt wouldnt be a problem. I know the ts sweet 16can handle more watts than the s45hp has, (85w) BUT would a rci2970n2, (240w) be to much for the ts sweet 16?

    How to check amp input impedance

    How do you check the input impiedance on the dx500v, to see if its 50ohms. The only way to lower my swr`s, with the amp ON, from over 3, down to 1.3, is to add a 3' jumper on to my 12' of coax, making it 15'. IT HAS TO BE THE AMP! Ive used 3 diff antennas and got the same reults. I dont...
