Would you be able to do a video/ setup for my Bj-300 amp and either a president taylor or a bearcat 880 or 980? I have everything Id just have to send it to ya and figure out a price to get everything looked at and tuned together. Let me know, I think the bj300 would get alot of views cause theres no good videos on it yet.

I have a 503HD but haven't hooked it up yet. I was told it runs best at 1-2 watts carrier but definitely not more than 4 watts and a peak input of 30-40 watts. Watching this confused me a bit. It's not your fault I'm confused, obviously. Lol. I've seen and heard different ways to get the watt reading, but what do you think? Anyway to clarify that for me?

I have the DX959 an just got a KL503HD about a week ago . I sure dont wanna mess anything up over or under driving the amp . Thanks in advance .

Ever consider doing any videos showing the diagnostic/testing/repair process so others can learn? There seems to be a shortage of good radio techs anymore, and as a ham trying to become a radio tech it's easier for me to watch and learn than read it from a book.
