It would take nearly 20 amps just to keep it on standby. A DC pig it definitely is. However, as far as output, by todays standards, it isn't that big a deal. A daily-use 8-pill is easily its equal. I saved the photos on a disk. Where would you put this monster in a car or truck?!??!!??!?! Hehehehhehehehe On the floor, in the trunk, or in A custom box in the bed. In those days the radios didn't have the frequency coverage that is common today. That means that once it was tuned it could be left alone. And WHAT mobile antenna would hold a full KW, other than a 102 inch stainless steel whip ? A Firestick (heliwhip), the Francis whips, or even a K-40 or an Avanti Mobile Moonraker that was tuned right. It has to be realized that when all was well that unit was good for 600 dead-key and 1200 peak. -- Jay in the Mojave Jay in the Mojave wrote: Hello All This caught my eye. I didn't know they made this type of amps in a mobile verison! Looking at the 12 switching transistors on the back of the amp, leaves one in awe! That had to draw more current than Bolder Dam. http://cgi.ebay.com/VARMINT-XL-1000-...QQcmdZViewItem Jay in the Mojave |
