I just completed installing the TE 1410G amplifier that I pulled out 
of my truck yesterday.

With 8w drive getting 150w output which is a boost up from the 110w 
my RFConcepts amp would produce.  I discovered it has a 0.6 dB NF 
Gasfet preamp so that will help receiving.
I rewired my shack to use a coax switch between the FT-736R and K3+2m 
XVTR plus another coax switch of TE amp output between the vertical 
and two KLM-11 yagis (still not usable due to SWR).
