I have a Palomar 200-X and I drive it with 3 watts and it gives me RMS of 50 and 200 nice amp. Rooster

OK it is here and I have spent the last three days programing this radio. So far I would say a very nice radio easy to program and has a good front speaker. Now I guess I have to find more people to talk to on the michigan repeaters. Rooster

OK I bought a Kenwood TM 271A it should be in any day now. Just could no find anything in a used one that was not from a estate sale. I guess I can always use in in my Jeep. Give me a week to figure out how it works and I will report back what I think of it. Rooster

My first Base was a Tram D201A which I still use today. And with a Y- Quad two stories up on a 10' tripod. :lol: Rooster

Just received a Palomar 200X :D Looks like the HI PWR is only putting out 150 watts RMS, could use new tubs I would guess, but the meter does not work. Does anyone know if the meters can be fixed or should I be finding a place to buy a replacement meter...

I have found a Kenwood TS-700a and would like to know if anyone can tell me how to wire up a Turner Super Sidekick to this radio? I also am looking for a power cord. Thanks Rooster

is there such a thing as a two meter base beside useing a mobile or hand held? and if so what is recommended? Also it must have tones just getting started Thanks Rooster
