KL-200P Mobile *

I bought one of these about a month ago, and I am definitely pleased with the KL-200P. I bought this one, even though it is about $20 more expensive than the 203P, it has the bipolar transistor, and not the mosfets. The bipolar transistor puts out more average (RMS) watts, and is cleaner than the mosfet finals. It puts out about 160 watts PEP out of my mobile, and has talked from Finland, to Greece, to Botswana, to Uruguay, to New Zealand. Close to 100 International contacts, sometimes even without propagation working for me, all from New Jersey, using a President Lincoln ll +, with a President digital handheld mic, and a Wilson 5000 magnet mount antenna with the ground plane kit. With a 3 watt carrier, swinging to 45, it works perfectly. Most of my contacts congratulate me for doing such a good job from a mobile. All clean reports. Make sure you get an RM Italy, and not one of the other knock-off brands. I like it so much that I bought an RM Italy KL-305 HD.

120 WATTS MAX OUT PUT .. NOT 200 WATTS

Very nice amp very good reports on sound clairity...

I USE THIS LITTLE GUY TO DRIVE MY 4-PILL AND IT WORKS GREAT!! BUT YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR DEAD-KEY SET LOW!!

I bought one of these about two months ago to use on 10 meters to add some power to my radio shack htx-100 transceiver. When 10 meters is fully open, 12 watts pep to the antenna is enough to work the world 3 times over. But when the opening is sporatic E you need some power to get thru. This little amp is working just fine for me. With the amp on, I get S7 reports and when I turn the amp off I am barely readable. driving the amp with 12 watts pep input, I get 200 watts pep out to the antenna. That is a 20 to I ratio of output to input, very impressive. The amp barely gets warm but I have a small fan in case it does. Keeping electronics cool is the key to longivity. If you run AM. the amp will heat up pretty good. I for one am very pleased with this amp. Cant get any better peformance from amps costing many times more.
