Alternator noise

It's that going wrong part that is so irritating.

 

I wouldn't shy away from a used one if I was buying it from a reputable technician/shop.

 

That word "reputable" means different things to different people.

 

Taken, if you don't want to talk SSB, buy a good class C amp like Davemade, Fatboy, etc. They are hand built, have high quality copper clad boards hat are more forgiving than tin, operate at a higher efficiency than class ab1' use less amps to produce power, and have good input tuning. It's more power for your ,only. Just open up a lid on a davemade vs a palomar, Texas star, etc and you will see the difference.

 

I've got to start proofreading these posts, this IPad sucks. Texas star is a good amp, I've owned a modulator, a dx 600, a 667. My brother in law owned a dx 350. 400 and 667. Never had a failure, kept the deadkey low, thick wire, good swrs and talked all over the country.

 

I'd run at least 8 gauge wire to power that amp. You'll like it, it will do a good job for you.

 

To me it means somebody who I know is proficient in electronics specific to the CB/Ham world. The only amps I've bought from an individual, I bought really cheap and took them straight to the "proficient CB/Ham technician" to be checked out and repaired if needed.
