I've had the same amp for years and thought it was just mine that had the HI and LO output wired backwards. Apparently the backward switch wiring is a systemic issue. It is a very low-drive input amplifier... it takes very input to overload the final RF stage. I use mine with an HTX-10 that normally has a 7w output. It was a chore getting the output down to about 3-watts and even that is a bit too much drive for the amp. The other thing I think about are the harmonics this thing generates. I've never had a reason to crack the case, or look at the signal through the o'scope, but I'm guessing that there is zero low-pass filtration on the RF output.

Thanks for the video. I have the same exact amplifier and it works pretty well for such a cheap and wideband amp. while i was successful in making contacts both locally and DX with it i decided to stuck it behind an antenna tuner and have had much better reports and over better results.

Thanks alot for the upload. Ive spent a year researching the high low button being released reversed on this exact model. The box insert said one thing, the seller webaite said another. I have the same radio shack meter as you and it confirms the button is reversed. Im puting in 1.5 watt deadkey from a cobra 25. Ill have to open her and turn the output power down to 1. I saw another video by 183getdown he puts a better resistor padding on the input but i don't think he knows the button is reversed.

thinking about getting one of these. so the left switch is power, middle switch is AM/SSB, and the right switch is padding? whats padding?
@577buttfan
@577buttfan 5 жыл бұрын
Padding is a set resistance on the input of the amp to lower drive from the driving source or radio entering the amp..so say if you have a radio that keys more watts than the amp can handle the padding may get you in the ball park or may not,every radio and amp should be matched by a tech so not to be over driven. Thanks for watching!!

Dang, you sound like a dude I would have loved to have hanged out with back in the late 70s / early 80s. Maybe could have sat down and smoked a blunt or hosed down a couple of beers, and had ourselves a really good pow wow...LOL. When I was teen, I remember buying that red amp on layaway from a Greek electronics store on 45th Street, New York City. That store is not there any more. There were a lot of Greek electronic stores on that block back in the day. As with the rest of Times Square, everything has since gone out of business, been relocated, or torn down for redevelopment and to make room for restaurants as per city code enforcement. I am truly fascinated that they still make these things. Unfortunately, I didn't have all of the bells and whistles for testing out my hookup, so it was not long before I blew the finals on my midland radio. How did you roll it back so that only one watt goes in? By the way, what's RMS? Peace!

Anytime Ive added a swing mod the carrier goes down(thats the purpose for adding them)especially on a transformer modulated rig, but the forward power does go up slightly on some radios.On all the bipolar mudulated radios there is a VR to adjust carrier. Thanks for watching.

For some reason the tune on tha amp is changing in low power. Ive seen this happen because of coax jumper length. These amps are thrown together with very little care especially the clones.I would just run it on high.I ran all my amps wide open that way the padding doesnt get hot.

Dang, always peeps pushing fm, but never pick a channel or start a net. 11 meter simplex would be nice, but FM has a nice sound but, 3 major flaws: 1. Louder static 2. Flat, higher carrier on tx 3. Wider carrier, just eating power, and will hear a silent carrier between s-0 to s-3 then very harsh until s-5. Good for solid local, squelch up comms, but fringe or dx, IS NOT DE WEY. NO. i still try tho.
