You should use the radio to vary the output, not the amp. The variable in the amp will fail over time. Conversely you can measure the resistance where you have the 100 watt deadkey and replace the variable in the amp with a fixed 5 watt resistor and that will be much sturdier.
As far as the...
I have never been that much of a fan of driving 2879's with a 2879. The 2290 takes a bit less to drive it, but is a slightly lower output device.
For me I'd want the 2290. Others will disagree with me.
What bothers me is they make exemptions.
I really don't care what your job is, we are all Human beings. If operating a radio with a microphone is going to distract me while I'm driving, a police officer will be just as distracted. If they want to try and way "he has been trained to use his...
I think all of the DIN sized radios will have a front mic because they are designed to be mounted in dash if the user so chooses.
I think your best option would probably be to look at the Lincoln II. That seems to tick all of the boxes you are looking for.
There are adjustments on the board to calibrate the multipliers. I have compared a 50 watt multiplied and a 500 watt next to each other and they are spot on with each other. You just need to make sure the calibration is correct.
Also there is the possibility of one of the slugs being out of...
Any scans I can find of the schematic for the radio look like they were scanned with a potato. That makes it very difficult to figure out the wiring. Also I don't know if the D104 is compatible with this radio.
I don't know that I would want that on the factory heat sink. It really wasn't designed to dissipate that much heat.
It's an interesting concept to deal with a discontinued part, but I just don't know.
