I have a general lee that has been peeked and tuned from a local cb shop and looking for some more power im looking to spend maybe 200-300 and this. ive been looking at amps and really do not know nor want to spend the time to learn about all the technical stuff. I have a rk56 mic and a wilison 5000 antenna already so what next guys?
Looking for more power

try a Texas Star 250. that radio will drive it well over 300 watts. http://www.gijoesradioelectronics.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=435

This is the only amp I use 150 watts on 2 meters more than enought ......

I don't think the Mirage would work very well with the General Lee!! I use an old brown face Mirage ( when they were manufactured in California ) for 2M weak signal work.
-
The new ones are junk ....
Still at 150 watts and run the tampabay SSB net ( 144.210 ) no one has a problem hearing me .... -
With the General Lee, I would go with the Texas Star 500V...Gen.Lee is going to be a little too much drive for the TS 350...
As for not wanting to know all the "Technical Stuff"...Bit of advice, If your going to run "Power" you best know what your doing, or your asking for allot of headaches...
Hooking up a Amp is not any harder than hooking up the CB Radio...But getting everything properly adjusted and dialed in, is another story -

so having someone install would be best plus my chan light seems to be burning out i only have half a 1 on the dim setting and sometime the volume will not get louder.

Call X force amps off there web site.They will help you even if you don't buy from them.You are going to need a 4 pill for the higher dead key the general lee has.Make sure your SWRs are in check,the extra power will add to it some.It's also a good idea to run an in line meter so you can keep an eye on stuff.With power come responsibility and money.
