Well this morning I head what I think is the best excuse for spending time on radios. The older femal ham stated "she'll be on her 2m radio a late for the next few months as winter is here ans she had to use the repeater so that is styaed nice and warm and didnt freeze up".

Anyone got a better excuse??

Heating oil & natural gas have skyrocketed!
So, i also have convinced my wife that a large
Amp would cut our heating bills in half....LOL..
And the more i get to talk on my radio, the
warmer we will be this winter....LOL

Allagator,

Yes, I recieved your first e-mail, then i wrote
you another question back, but, haven't recieved
anything back yet...LOL...
Anyhow, my 2995dx only dead keys up to 80 watts.
Is 60-80 watts enough to properly run the
KLV 1000P Amp??? Thank You.....

Allagator,

I'm just going to have my Ranger 2995dx wattage
turned down to 2 watts & purchase KLV 1000.
That seems like the easiest thing to do.
The lowest it will go right now is 3 watts... Thanks...
