without knowing what vehicle its going in......
the 2000 is a base not a mobile but it can be used that way .a magnum S-980 or a RCI 2970DX (straight to 1600) would be great options or a uniden grant . with that ammount of power id suggest a good quality swr/power meter like a palstar . id also suggest LMR-400UF coax over the 213 and only use soldered amphenol PL-259's . i hear the 22 inch 10-k tunes and works best and that there is nothing like a REAL 56K mic . since youre also wanting SSB id suggest an AB biased texas star 1600 (sweet 16) set to key 300 watts and talk (not whistle) 1200 watts . make sure your puck mounts are stainless steel and not aluminum or brass . an extra battery may be in order too . but........im just a duck and can only dream about a setup like that :roll: but what a sweet dream it is .

The 2000 GTL has a 13.8 volt input if I remember correctly.

All cobra base radios has this hook up

i wonder if the curved roof would be a problem. Ask Linearone he's doing a 'burb' right now and I KNOW HE knows his stuff... along with just about eveyone else except me. haha 73's

I would not use a 2000 GTL for a mobile, way too big and they are not designed for the rough roads of Houston.

Im gonna have to agree with marty. Id see if you could find yourself a Cobra 148. Very similar to what your running now.

Thats over kill for a 1500 watt amp, can your vehicle CPU handle a different alternator like a 300 amp?

Beware of RF to that computer in that Van i have the same Van and can run 200 watts without the brake relay kicking on and light in dash check engine light going on. so i use a diff vehicle to run my big power. just some info for u. #15 in Cali

 

[bigred222]

Thats why everyone has 80's suburbans.

 

[bigred222]

A friend of mine tried running high power in his new car and the computer ended up shutting down and he had to leave the car overnight. I could only imagine what he would have told the dealer.
" I Have a 4 Kilowatt amplifier in my trunk and was running it when all the power shut off and the vehicle shut down. I WONDER WHAT HAPPENED????"
"WELL Sir your vehicle suffered SEVERE RF EXPOSURE"

 

[Number15]

LOL, yup thats what will happen seen it many times. That why i use my 1990 dodge dakota and still engine light come on but other than that, nothing else. And im doing 4k. #15

 

[bigred222]
