I think that you want to FRY your equipment. Feeding that much into that little Amp may just kill something. |

I built a amp for 10 meter FM which I drove with my Alinco DR M03
Now it was almost the same as what he is talking about .... I built it to need 20 watts for full output of 350 watts and with the 03 driving it i got 325 .......
That was with 10 watts .....

Im just trying to match them up. I noticed that with the 3500 i can adjust it to 2 watt dead key and swing to 25+ is this too much for the amp? I can do 5 watt swing to 35. With just dead key alone I cant get the amp to do more than 200 225. wierd |

My guess is you will cook the amp .....
I'm not tiring to discourage you but i have a bad feeling about doing this this way ....

That 3500 100 watt will be fine for a bigger amp that requires higher drive like an Ameritron, Dentron, Swan MKII ect ect. Dont even try it with a smaller low drive CB type amp as it will FRY it! |
