Henry Amp

[RT431]

My friend gave me this amp to sell ànd I'm not to sure what it is. If someone can she'd a little light on this would be great. Thanks!

Business band 157 MHz FM 20 watts in 80 watts out.
May work on 2 meters but would most likely need retuned to work on 146-148 Ham band

C80A30 30-80 Mobile 5 MHz approx. FM only 13.8 vdc - 18 amps
155 - 159 MHz FM only

That's what we were thinking. Thanx!

Now the obvious question, is it worth anything?

Well, guessing this considering you can buy 80 watts 2-meter radios NIB for about $130.
I sold a TE systems brand 2-meter version several years ago the same power ratings for $50.00.
So tough call since that one would have to be opened up and tuned for the Ham bands.
New price for those 20+ years ago was crazy like $400...but almost Zero demand for that frequency range nowadays, as most business and public safety usage has moved to 700-900 MHz range.
Best usage for that would be a Ham with an old 10-20 watt FM rig, give a nice little boost mobile or on base.
All the Best

Thats a tank! Works just fine on 2 meters. Or use it for MURS. Its a great little amp, top quality.

Henry made good amps...but that's a China version (Singapore)
The Henry USA-made versions were almost bulletproof!
