okay...not challenging your answers but I have to admit it doesn't make sence to me.I've heard about people getting around 50 watts out a 3900.
Seems like with duel finals you should get atleast 45 or so....like I said I'm not challenging your answers cuz I do appreciate them...I guess I was just expecting more from a duel final radio.Thanks again.

Actually around 30 watts sounds right Ncrebel, my Grant XL only has a single final and does a swing of 15 watts...

people that get 45-50 watts out of radios usually have radios with clipped limiters.witch only looks good on a wattmeter.the end result is overmodulation if the radio didnt need this limiter the factory wouldnt put it in there.30-35watts sounds good for that radio
