Need legal advice? Don't buy illegal amps.

How about a technical opinion? Most "linear"

amps are rated for peak power (PEP) for both

input and output. That means if it's rated for 4

watts input, don't feed it any more than 1 watt

RMS on AM or 4 watts PEP on SSB. If it's

rated for 100 watts PEP output, that means

you shouldn't run it any higher than 25 watts

out on AM. If that's the case then you probably
did overdrive it. You could also have some

grounding issues, or a mismatch between the

radio and the amp. And here's some more

advice: Learn what you are doing so you don't

get burned in the future.






Mopar is right. Hell froze over. It must be one brutal freakin' winter
up yonder. Frank displayed a clarity above not seen since his better
days.



The likelihood of one individual being correct increases in a direct
proportion to the intensity with which others try to prove him wrong
