You really don't want a tube Amp in a mobile or your just asking for more problems than you would be willing to put up with.

For what (I think) your wanting to do, stick with Fatboy, Davemade, Texas Star, Palomar, or XForce or something along those lines if your planning on using it for CB use...

The so-called "Ham Amps" listed above would be just as illegal to use with a CB as the ones I mentioned...

 

i run a 8 tube amp have for years draws very little power wont harm computer,no problems

 

I hear alot of good things about Fatboys. I ran a Texas Star 667 for awhile. Seemed to be a really good linear.

 

I have a Maverick 500 that I have had since 1997 and haven't used it in years, it worked real good. The guy that built them is no longer in business as the FCC raided his place and stole just about everything he had. He built a nice unit.

 

I have a DaveMade that I have used for several years with no problems. I also had good luck with some Palomars, although DaveMade seems to put out a bit better with less hassle and more reliability.

 

Were they certified for class D CB ? If not they were just doing the[r job

( FOR ONCE )

 

Yes but cleaner .....
