OK I ordered the DX500V Ordered on Friday May 26 so it should arrive by Wednesday the 30 and was wondering what I should expect for performance. I will be driving it with a Yaesu FT-840. Anyone have any experience with this amp? |

8 watts dead key/less then 40 PEP input should get you 120 dead key & 450+ PEP |

I will be using it in the house with an Astron RS70M power supply.
Wally what kind of radio are you running and what kind of power are you getting out of the amp? |

'wire-Ab9lx's Q asked about his ft840, which probably does 25AM or so, & 80+ PEP. too much at full power for the dx500v. BUT, probably adjustable enough to be usable. the dx500's design allows it to make max power over a very broad range of inputs. it is not a 'standard' low input amp, but will probably show the same output with 2 watts in or 10 watts in. PEP can vary BIG TIME from meter to meter, so Wally38 is getting good #'s, & while a stock cobra 29 would probably be able to show the same dead key, more or less, PEP probably won't be much less the Wally is getting with 40 PEP in. |
