A quality adjustable amp??

#400189

Post by trx680 »

I have a Uniden 980ssb that I bought from **Non Sponsor**, and had the "high performance tune-up", that I'm using as a base. Road Devil mic.
Have a Maco Alpha V 5/8 antenna.

If I were to buy an amp I'd like to have one with an adjustable output so I can transmit just what I need to get the job done.

Of course one that will work well with this radio.
And a quality amp that won't make this radio sound like crap or hurt the radio.

From you guys experience, what do you think?

Just get one that does the amount of power you want and be done with it...Variables tend to be the first thing to screw-up on amps that has them...another option would be a amp that has a HI-LOW switch, but then again, this is something that makes absolutely no since to me to have...

An amp with 4 x4-400s should do it. All kidding aside the first 100 watts is the most important.

**Non Sponsor** (he's on fb) for custom built box's...(prices about the same as any other box)

Texas Star has always been a reliable production amp (would need to be converted for 11 meter tho)

**Non Sponsor** would be another builder worth checking out on fb...He use to own and build **Censor** amps, then sold out to someone else who basically killed the brand...But **Non Sponsor** back building again just not putting the **Censor** name on the boxs.
