Can the texas star DX500v handle the drive from a Magnum S9 radio, or A cobra 200GTL???. Will I be able to power the amp with a 40amp constant 50amp surge power supply???
Thanks,

Cornbrown,
As for the Cobra 200 I do not know but I would suggest having it set up / matched to work with the 500 so you do not Overdrive the 500 and blow it up.
Yes, the Texas Star 500 is the Amp that Sam Lewis recommends for use with the S-3 / S-6 and S-9 Radios ONLY after the S-3 / S-6 / S-9 radios are Properly Adjusted/Set for use with the the Texas Star 500.
This is to protect BOTH your Radio and/or the Amp from going POOF!
Below is what Sam Lweis Owner of RF Limited / Magnum Internal has to say,
USE WITH AN AMPLIFIER
The S-3, S-9,and Omega Force S-45 and S-6 were designed to work with a 4 pill Amplifier like the Texas Star 500 or Similar Amplifier that uses 4 - 2SC2879's.
"DO NOT ATTEMPT" to run the Magnum S-3, S-9, S-6 or the Omega Force S-45 with any 2 PILL Amplifier!
Also if you use the Magnum S-3, S-6, S-9 or Magnum Omega Force S-45 with an Amplifier that uses an Exciter/Driver you MUST have the radio adjusted for a Dead Key of 4 watts and NO More than 12 watts PEP.
It is Highly Suggested that you have a professional do this.
The Texas Star website shows for the 500:
Approx. Power Output with 20 watts input/ Approx. Max Current
500W/45A

Hope this helps,
