The taller fiberglass sticks are rated between 1500-2000 watts, depending on the model. The K40 trucker is rated at 7000 watts, although I don't know anyone personally who's ever ran that much power through one.
How much watts can a k40 handle?<img src=http://users.joplin.com/dutch64804/posticon36.gif ALT=":36"> <img src=http://home.comcast.net/~shockwav/usa_flag_422.gif ALT=":+usflg">
Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
