The amp has two 1446 transistors in it. Does anyone know how many watts I can expect to get out of this amp? Is this a good amp? |

Sammyb, Welcome to the Copper Forum! W90-00002 PALOMAR ELITE 300 $ 79.99 FEATURES: (2) MRF455 Transistors Input power: 4 Watts Output power: 125/250 Watts Max. 3 stages of pwr High/Low/Med. 20 dB gain preamp On/Off TX & Status indicators The 125/250 Watts Max, means you can expect 125 watts on AM and 250 watts on SSB with 4 watts Maximum input. I would suggest using 2-1/2 to 3 watts drive and it should last a long time. Hope this helps. Lon Tech808

You can expect about 140-200 depending on the radio you drive it with. Even though it says HD, keep your dead key under 3 watts and you will be fine. There are better amps out there but for the money thats a nice unit. |
