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

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.
