    What is the purpose of a dual final radio versus single final? What are the objective pros and cons? Are there triple finals, etc.?

    My Anytone AT-6666 has four finals.
    Personally I'd rather have a single Motorola mrf 477 than 4 mosfets.

    Some transistors offer more gaIn than others. it costs less money to use 4 ten cent mosfets at 20 watts each to make an 80 watt radio as opposed to a Single $55 2sc2879 to make the same radio.

    Single, duel, triple, etc. ...

    It is all a sales gimmick.

    that's kind of like saying there's no difference between a V12 and a 4 cylinder engine

    Rabbi as I said it is a sales gimmick.

    I can put together a final amp with one device and one with 6 devices, both will do the same thing, no difference between them.

    Stop thinking in a box.

    2sc2879 is a good final? My General Lee has 2 of those puppies.

    Edit: 2sc2312. Oops.

    Well according to Ridgeline it's no better than a Cobra 29 with a single 2sc1969 transistor

    I was looking at it more from a mathematical potential perspective
