and is this worth $300.00how much power should i be seeing from a firebird 500?.with good tubes?
4 sweep tubes might put out 350 watts but on AM there won't be any dynamic headroom left over for your audio. People will tell you it sounds crunchy and the modulation sounds low.
100-125 watts carrier would be a little more what those tubes could do with a lot of air on them and the expectation of some tube life.
The only real problem with sweep tubes is people pound the hell out of them.
