I have one with my McKinley DK at 2.5w or so. 25w swings to 100w. If people are talkers the amp will get warm pretty quick. Just put a computer fan and all will be good. Great little, reasonably, priced amps!!👍🏼

@Rooster_Radio4 жыл бұрын
Would not recomment a uniden grant, or cobra 148gtl. They put out a high amount of "average" power that will not show up on a dosy meter or other cheaper meters. The end result is overdriving your amp without ever realizing it. A grant or 148 will do over 10 watts average even if the peak power is showing low. The radio in this video was doing 5 watts average.

Rooster, can you kindly make video comparison of a cheap Workman SWR/Power meter which what I have cos that's only what I can afford & what's available here in Philippines, with the Bird meter you're using so that I could have a clear idea where I'm at when I trim down my 29ltd classic by the time I get the chance to have a kl203. Like you said, you won't see the true output of a radio with cheap meters. I really would appreciate some help with your know how. Thanks again and 73's.

My galaxy 959 does 32w pep and has a 2w dead key turned all the way down. Should I get about the same pep power you got here or will mine do a bit more since its doing 32w pep barefoot?? It's had a basic peak and tune. The power you got here is more than enough for me I am only curious 👍 Sorry for dumb questions. Never had anything but barefoot radios. I like this 203 because it's small and simple.

I also have a Road King that was peaked and turned and maybe hook it to my little friend? Closest radio shop to me from Athens Alabama is 100 miles so any help would be kind.

Just got one of these, and it's 'hanging up' especially on AM mode? Defective? Only putting 2W in with a brand new untouched McKinley. SWR is nominal at 1.1-1.4 ch. 1-40, readings are from a Dosy TFB 3001...can't speak for it's accuracy except it's dead-nuts on with another Rat Shack meter. Someone said these RM's 'wear-in' after a while, but I'm not so sure about that...?
