2SC2078 should be the stock final if it's like the previous 29's. You can get 20-25 watts out of it after a good tune and I really don't believe the mosfets are an upgrade. You might see a few more watts but the person on the other end will never notice. If you double your power (i doubt you will) you will only gain 1/2 of an s unit.
The rx 75 works but it's 10 lbs of junk in a 5 lb bag. A stock 29 with a good tune is hard to beat, but an amp behind it and it gets even better, then but a bigger amp behind that one... |

I've had a couple of 29's and 25's plus the Unidens with same boards. I used the 2sc1969 final, there is a clone available if you can't find an original. I got good swing out of the 1969s. Like Jon666 says the rx75 will work well, but may be hard to find. A 100-500 watt amp with a preamp will make a mobile come to life. If you want to do the Mosfet change over, Copper has the parts. I got some 2030s from them.

10 watts dead key with 100 pep is overmodulation. A radio with a built in amp (factory or not) will never beat an external amp of the same size. |

id try to find 1969s finals if not id get soms mosfets.then later down the road if ya wanna
get a amp a good 2 pill will do or a 2 driving 4
amp would be great.the rx75 IS nice in 29s
if done up correctly but it also limits future plans like a amp cause it will over drive most
of them

I used to be all about having a hot rod radio but I finally decided that if I'm going to use an amp anyway I don't need a 40 watt cobra 29. A stock finals, a decent tune and variable power is all I need.
That's the great thing about this hobby though. There are plenty of options out there and all that matters is that your setup works for you.  |
