10-4 trash pile it goes... IMO for the price of the 1446 id rather buy a new kl200p not sure y the 1446 went out in first place but I got it used so theres no tellin......thanks.
I run 2 of these one in each truck. I once used one at the base and it didn't last to long I now run a KL-500 with 2 big fans with no problems. The 200's I get 100 watts am and 120 SSB I like them and especially the price. Ioffer.com had the lowest prices at the time.
I got this kl200-p and a kl-40 the 40 works fine but to small for me I cant use either and there to small to sell lol so in the trash they will go...
I had a KL-40 in my state Freightliner plow/dump truck hooked up to a radio brand called a "Fuzz Buster" straight 40 am with a great NB. Any way that little 40 made all the difference to being able to talk to my wife on the base through the skip and 30 miles of mountain roads. We would do radio checks at different places with it on and off I would go from loud and strong to lost all together in the skip
every time I turned it off. That Fuzz Buster has loud audio to help be heard also.

The RM amplifiers are very much low end light duty cheap little amplifiers, for the money as an example the KL203 is a super little package. However you must not overdrive them or they go up in smoke, when they do the 40,60,200, & 203 are pretty much throw away amplifiers. A fan really helps too. I'm not totally negative on them but people really need to understand how to run them.
TNT, FatBoy, Worldwide as far as B and C amps go. I wouldn't settle for anything less than a Messenger for a true ssb amp........an M4V and M500 are the Holy Grail.
I had been looking at the KL-203P that DNJ has but for 11 meters that would make it illegal for me to operate one so I'm for having the best base station and mobile antennas and living within those parameters. I even have a couple of locals that want me to get a linear thinking they're trying to be helpful but I'll make the best of what I've got.
Don't have to worry about Big Brother looking over my shoulder.

Running a little extra power and using it properly I don't think many people have a problem with that especially if you are in a bad location and the extra power may not make you get out as good as the next guy running nothing just because he is in a better location. That is the situation I am in.
