Palomar 250 amp

Have a question for you guys. I have a Palomar 250 (with (2) sd 1446's). Would it be ok to run this with a Cobra 29 that has a 1 watt DK but swings to 40 watts? Isnt a 40 watt swing a little much for this amp? Or would it be better to run it with an untouched/factory spec Cobra 29?

Thanks for the help?

 

Yes, you are correct. It has been tuned/modded, schottky diodes, etc. The swing has been confirmed on (3) different bird meters now. I just thought that the Palomar 250 worked best with a 20 watt...ish swing. I was worried that 40 might be too much. Thank you for your help.

 

I agree it would be better with just the stock swing, but, I'm OTR right now, and only have 2 radios with me to choose from. Either a stock, unmodded Cobra (4watt dk 16 watt swing) or the "modded" cobra (1watt dk 40 watt swing). I also have a Galaxy 929 in here, but it does 1 watt dk 35 watt swing also. I have to choose one of these

 

That's what I was thinking also, just use the stock radio with a smaller swing. Plus, I doubt it has a true 4 watt DK, prob more like 2 or maybe 3 watts. Thank you sir for your help.

BTW, for anyone who is curious, Chris Holland is the one who set up the radio for this amp. He also set up another radio of mine to put a 35 watt swing into a small KL200p amp. I'm beginning to question his ability.

 

One last option would be to buy a new Uniden 980 (since they are notoriously known for being weak) and just hook it up to the KL203p I have here in the truck and call it a day. Pilot has a sale on them right now for $130.
