Does anyone know what an Am-Comm Penetrator 1000 Base Linear Amplifier is supposed to put out? Also what dead key? The seller claims This is a nice, clean amp. It is a 2 pill (sd1076) solid state unit. Driving it with 2 watts it will do 100. If you drive it with 30 watts it will do 600 according to information based on the web forums.

Thats almost funny! Please do not belive some of the stuff you read on ebay,'Even more from people trying to sell things. 100 watts sounds about right drive it with 30 and bad things will happen.
Well that could be, but that amp cant do 600 by itself. many people use a smaller amp to drive a larger amp.
Listen no matter what he is telling you a two transistor hb1000 CAN NOT put out 500 watts alone. Period..
The SD1076 transistor dates from the late 1970s. A data sheet has never been posted online where I could find it.
But here is a catalog list of some sort. Says it's rated for 70 Watts output, with 13.5 db power gain. That's a gain factor of about twenty to one. Should suggest that a single transistor needs about 3.5 Watts drive to get 70 Watts out.
Does say it's meant for a 12-Volt power supply. Might check inside this one to see if it's "cheating" with a high power supply voltage.
This thing is really old. If it has survived this long with original transistors, that would really be some performance record.

So far with this quad 6 i don't need an amp it does plenty. Talked all over the country today and canada as well as Trinidad. All from Ohio
That radio would have driven that amplifier over a cliff, fairly quick. Too much drive power.
As they used to say on channel 6: "You don't need Watts for talking, you only need Watts for fighting".
