I want to get an amp, and getting the internal amp seems like the most sensible way to go, but I'm also thinking that an external amp I could use for other radios in the future might be the better solution. Are there off the shelf 100w amps that might fit the bill? I see Ten Tec's new amp is $700+....not going to happen at that price.
