    Palomar 450 fet linear amp ???

    I have the original High-Drive version: Try a long jumper between the radio and the amp. Note: the four finals are rated at 75 watts each so 300 watts or so is normal unless your going to over-drive or over volt the amp. My High-Drive version does 300 watts with about 100 watts drive. .
