    1. No matter what you do, it will sound horrible and run hot using it as is. Think of it like running your car with the distributor turned 45% off set time.
    2. Yes, you can actually run this off of power poles or even a decent 15a lighter outlet.

    I actually know him. He's the guy that introduced me to radios and taught me everything I knew until I started posting here on the forum. He is a great guy and definitely knows his stuff. Never had any work done by him though.

    what some call a 1:4 ratio on the radio and amp setup
    say if you have a amp that will swing 1000 watts
    you need to set the radio up to where when you deadkey the radio with the amp on then the amp only deadkeys 250 watts
    so you will have the 250 watt deadkey and modulate to 1000 watts

    like Rolling said you will sound like a guy talking thru a sock or really pinched up and with them metal oxide ferrites wont last long

    so you have to keep that deadkey on the radio way down
    into the .5 to .75 watt range deadkey

    good luck on your install
