Awesome AL , looking forward to it

I have a McKinley and Lincoln 2+ I’m getting backswing with my kl 503 and 203 they’re stock besides the conversion did you do anything to your carrier?

I bet you could get drunk and win a group b rally if there was one though!

Name me a more iconic car than the Delorean, that's an Irish car!

@@rorydonaghy4742 thank you......! Sir!

Iconic, yes...poor build quality, less than satisfying driving experience...

Thank you hahah

Look up BBI videos. He's legit

503hd is my no2 pick of rm amps

so over time. do you still think the 503hd. a better amp over the 703

@@Rooster_Radio so do you still think the 503hd a better amp over the 703 ?

I've never had issue with one, but I can believe that. The more mosfets you add, the more possibilities you have of these things happening. The 503hd is the best amp they make in my opinion

@@Rooster_Radio Exactly, agree the 503 is the best. I modified mine to a medium drive.

I'll have a couple in this week. They do a good job

Low power of 12w on high when he 1st keyed up getting 180w, he then went to 35w input and got 490w 👍

Hello Rotterdam..DESPERADO 56 north of Tampa Fl. waving a hand.. just wondering how your Italy 703 is working out for you. Be safe and stay well. 73's

@@LEEBO-56 Hi,actually I sold it,good amplifier no complaints 👌, but now I have a Amateur radio licence I use a Acom 1500 linear amplifier,,,,bit of a different league 🙃, hopefully your amplifier is working well,,,,73 from Rotterdam 👍

i run this on a 50 amp it runs good

@@tommydangelo2479 hi,I suppose it depends on how hard you drive the amplifier,,but in my situations 60 amp minimal,,,not enough power amps, has a negative effect on the modulation,,,good luck 73s from Rotterdam.

@@Bernard-John i do always like a little more amperage then less i will not disagree with you

Want you to think about what you're saying. 35 watts in 500 out- 14x the input drive 100 in 700 out- 7x the input drive You're putting in 65 more watts to gain 150-200. Doesn't make sense and it's a good indicator that the amp is being over driven, diminished returns.

I'll have more in soon

Know ya dont like to give prices on here but maybe just a ballpark figure ? :)

@@timmygilbert1371 I don't want to speak for Rooster but I know he gets tied up at times and it might take a while to reply but go to his KZfaq channel, swipe left until you see the COMMUNITY heading and read the 1st post.👍

I would use a 50 amp supply minimum

The specs sheet stated 50 Amps, I'd still suggest adding a super capacitor to prevent any drops and smooth out the incoming power.

50-75A Ambulance alternator would likely be needed. I would add a 2nd battery dedicated to this monster in a mobile setup and of course a faraday sized super capacitor to keep the power flow even without any drops. Perhaps 1/0 copper cables with 50amp fuses directly to the battery.

With only 20 watts going in yes. I'd recommend 60 amps for full output on high

@@Rooster_Radio we struggle for decent psu's in 🇬🇧 50a plenty of, only 1 60a with 2, 4mm banana plug fittings you'd have to get 60a electrical wire into. Appreciate the reply anyway 🐓, I'm sure Santa will sort it for me mate, cause I've been a good boy this year. Haha 😄 Enjoy the videos mate, keep them coming in 2022 👍

@@Rooster_Radio Maybe a 75A would be overkill, but if I run it let's say, 14.2-14.5V instead of 13.8V @60A min , will then less amperage would run it less hot?

I use a Tekpower 50A. 25 watt drive. Terrific amp. It has punched me through when needed. Never been close to warm.

14.5. my truck runs around 14.3-14.5. Where are you seeing 13.9 as the standard?

@@Rooster_Radio I see, okay. And well, I meant standard as you usually see specs of equipment being listed at around that voltage. I really like the RM Italy line and am verry happy you did a review video of it. Great work by the way! I am happy someone finally put the 503 (your previous video) and the 703 behind a Bird . There is a lot of opinions that the 703 can't hit close to 500. I am looking to get the 703 soon myself (the prices for these just went up around the web by the way) and keep telling people that if you put the right wattage and AMPERAGE (yes the 703 does need a steady 60A) behind the 703, you will see it swing close 500 peak, so I'm really happy you got this video up. 73s!

10

Everything I own I run it to it's max safe operating capacity, and rarely have failures

@@Rooster_Radio i was told if I run my 500v at half I will burn it out faster because the amp is burning off the excess watts into another component.

@@tf7274 not true.

@@rondellschuyler7074 Which part? Curious. Thanks for replying.

Same as the 503hd, it will work if it hasn't been modified and you back the rf power down.

@@Rooster_Radio Thank you, 73.

Andersons radio supply. 400$

Oh yeah and how much would the price be for either or?

What amp are you referring to

Well it says (Smokin Joe) and it's a 4 pill I got it from a guy in Texas I don't remember the name of the cb shop but I think he worked on it before I bought it and it worked really good for 2 years and I noticed that it wasn't keying on the meter and I inspected the inside and saw that the one big resistor has black discoloration on it so I just unplugged her I just need advice on what to do so I don't waste more money Thanks.

I just did a giveaway yesterday. Maybe you should pay attention

35 pep/ssb

The meter will initially bounce up when you switch to peak, because the kit is battery operated and that's the "battery test". Carrier won't change on peak unless fan noise is being picked up to generate a small amount of peak power. If I need to make a video demonstrating this I'll be glad to. No smoke and mirror show here

@@Rooster_Radio 10-4.. thanks for the reply. it just seamed like when everyone goes to peak mode they are quick to audio. Wasnt implying anything. but may more out of habit i guess. Keep up the vids!

Just did a couple days ago and sold out. Might be getting a new one in on trade

It covers 25-30 MHz on all narrowbands AM FM SSB CW and data modes.

You're asking me if I'll have something 3-4 months away? That's hard to say

@@Rooster_Radio maybe I should have phrased it different, are they normally in stock? Or something you get when you can? Thanks in advance

@@KC9RXP i try to keep them available yes

@@Rooster_Radio good stuff. I'll get at you then.

2 watts or so

RM Italy are actually pretty tough. I've probably sold 1000 or more between the 203,203p, 503,503hd, 703. Can't even think of anyone that's had a failure

35 watts peak

So just turn the power down

Yes

Unfortunately yes they are but the quality of the Texas star amps has a lot to be desired. The rm Italy amps are unbeaten in build quality and if not overdriven they will last a long time. They have clean output on a scope and spectrum analyzer unlike Texas stars which are usually dirty.

30 watts input it will deadkey 500w on FM. My SWR is 1.2. Meter is a MFJ.

Thanks,I've had two since then,I've recently got a bla 703..sorry for the late reply 73s

Maybe you didn't notice Am and FM are on the same mode switch. If it works on AM it works on FM. The uniden 66 doesn't have FM mode, but if an amplifier functions on AM it will function on fm

@@Rooster_Radio OK cool,, would love to know what it does with a 30 watt dead key input on fm,, anyway good work thanks for replying

You as well Alan

@@alanchatfield4271 ive just bought one, a thirty watt fm/am input will do 435 watts using 8 awg on a 60amp psu, i tested mine on FM.. it draws 52amps on these specs.

@Alan Chatfield .. 30 watt deadkey on FM is 500 watts on my MFJ. 50 amp power supply. SWR 1.2

170x295x62 mm Found in less than 30 seconds on Google. You should try it sometime

Up my ass actually but I appreciate your concern

@@Rooster_Radio, you don't have to be a smartass, but that's your choice. In reality, nobody gobbles-up on a mic like you do in all the vids you've got, so why do it for a useless show of swing with wattage that never gets used? I started watching your vids for some mobile tube amp info because you showed up in search results, but all I see is Smoke-N-Mirror salesmanship here. Good Luck buddy. It's your channel..

@@user-tz2xk4cz5z I bet you like to gobble more than a microphone. Am I right?

@@Rooster_Radio, I bet you never graduated high school...

@@user-tz2xk4cz5z Actually, I have a bachelor's degree. Ill be glad to send you a picture of it and my 🐓🐓🐓
