variable amps

[9Lives]

What exactly are these variables for? It looks like attenuate input. It's this if your dead key is to high?

Yes, generally speaking you would want to adjust your dead key to 1/4 the max output of the amp.

But if I have a radio that has a higher output than what the amp need. Ex. Rfx75 into a 2 pill. Can I turn the variable down and make it work?

 

[1FatBoy]

No. Even the average HD (High Drive) 2 pill amp only tolerates a 5w DK and swinging 50.
I am not aware of a 2 pill that will handle the rfx75's input.
Someone will correct me if I am wrong.

I'm agreeing with you, I just built anoth err 2 pill and went through extensive learning to tune it properly and just wanted an opinion

Variable output, like on a Texas star is the output watts compared to a low, med, high buttons. Thats it, so even if it can do 400 watts, you can turn it down to 100 or whatever you want.
