buyer beware obviously but driving an amp with 4 watts stock and it
fries? if that is true then copper should make the caveat that only low
power is needed which brings up another scenario where the operator has
to turn it down. what a mess that would bring...

Some say it is like Snipe hunting. Does it truly exist? Who actually had
one? I made Griff an offer on one once......(shrug)...gave him the
benefit of doubt, but I think he was afraid I was the local FCC enforcer
or something. Perhaps he was afraid it would be used for illegal gains
like (horrors) dx on the freeband.

Perhaps the one I heard coming out of Galveston last week was using a
Mt. Nebo (There is such a place) Amplifier. He sounded loud and had a
good signal, but it was all he could do to listen to the 'pile..I really
wish I could say it was me,,but it was all momma nature,,,,,it was one
of those days where everyone in Texas said the pile was 30 db all the
live long day. Was good until black gold came preachin' in there calling
himself worldwide Train......Lucky Boy keyed and everyone else
disappeared..except the very bad man in St Pete that held court with
Lucky Boy....and nobody else.

Many amps say "X-amount of watts out with 3 or 4 watts in." Additional
watts, even one, = user error, NOT more power. You need admit, the
majority of repairs on many fiddled with radios and amps arrive that
state via user error and/or ignorance. The radio and amp need "married"
to each other in a most perect union. This obviously was not done. In
many, many cases of such amp use, a lower dead key on the radio
(necessitating an adjustment to the output) is not only desirable, but
necessary. Chances are he overdrove it.
