What I found is that the amp needs to have around 50
watts to be driven to full output. There is a rule
with the FCC that requires higher drive for full
output so other types (CB types) can't put in 5-watts
and get out 800 watts. So, the by rule the amp is
limited in drive...I think it is 13 db, but I am not
sure.
The amp is a stand alone and can be used with any rig.
It is 80% the size of an Alpha
It has a built in antenna tunner. PIN Diode switching
and a switching power supply.
Fully metered too.

Common sense is in short supply - get some and use it.
If you can't find any common sense, ask for help from
somebody that has some common sense. - Lee Buller
