How about a technical opinion? Most "linear"

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

days.


I could take that as a compliment if you were capable of understanding anything
I said beyond the sarcasm. You can't, so I won't.


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


Does that include proof like "...they both use Supernews so therefore they must
be the same person..."? Or how about, "...because I said so..."? Should the
similarity between the handle 'Sparky' and the surname 'Sparks' be considered
"proof"? Oh, that's right, you don't answer questions because that would
compromise your warped interpretation of the 'Golden Rule' -- do unto others
then avoid the consequences by any means possible.

Carry on, Dave.

Who's "Dave", Frankie? Where's the proof? Jumping from one wild
conclusion to another does not constitute proof, neither does endless
and mindless repetition.

Can't you function at the intelligence level of us surface-dwellers? Didn't you
even read the thread? Twisty provided his -own- proof! Now go crawl back into
your hole, Clyde.
